e307eb94ae loader: zfs should support bootonce an nextboot
bootonce feature is temporary, one time boot, activated by
"bectl activate -t BE", "bectl activate -T BE" will reset the bootonce flag.

By default, the bootonce setting is reset on attempt to boot and the next
boot will use previously active BE.

By setting zfs_bootonce_activate="YES" in rc.conf, the bootonce BE will
be set permanently active.

bootonce dataset name is recorded in boot pool labels, bootenv area.

in case of nextboot, the nextboot_enable boolean variable is recorded in
freebsd:nvstore nvlist, also stored in boot pool label bootenv area.
On boot, the loader will process /boot/nextboot.conf if nextboot_enable
is "YES", and will set nextboot_enable to "NO", preventing /boot/nextboot.conf
processing on next boot.

bootonce and nextboot features are usable in both UEFI and BIOS boot.

To use bootonce/nextboot features, the boot loader needs to be updated on disk;
if loader.efi is stored on ESP, then ESP needs to be updated and
for BIOS boot, stage2 (zfsboot or gptzfsboot) needs to be updated
(gpart or other tools).

At this time, only lua loader is updated.

9e5787d228 Merge OpenZFS support in to HEAD.
The primary benefit is maintaining a completely shared
code base with the community allowing FreeBSD to receive
new features sooner and with less effort.

I would advise against doing 'zpool upgrade'
or creating indispensable pools using new
features until this change has had a month+
to soak.

Work on merging FreeBSD support in to what was
at the time "ZFS on Linux" began in August 2018.
I first publicly proposed transitioning FreeBSD
to (new) OpenZFS on December 18th, 2018. FreeBSD
support in OpenZFS was finally completed in December
2019. A CFT for downstreaming OpenZFS support in
to FreeBSD was first issued on July 8th. All issues
that were reported have been addressed or, for
a couple of less critical matters there are
pull requests in progress with OpenZFS. iXsystems
has tested and dogfooded extensively internally.
The TrueNAS 12 release is based on OpenZFS with
some additional features that have not yet made
it upstream.

Improvements include:
  project quotas, encrypted datasets,
  allocation classes, vectorized raidz,
  vectorized checksums, various command line
  improvements, zstd compression.

Thanks to those who have helped along the way:
Ryan Moeller, Allan Jude, Zack Welch, and many
others.

007278ebf0 zfsbootcfg: use vfs.root.mountfrom and update nextboot on every vdev
vfs.zfs.boot.primary_pool is only set on BIOS boot, use vfs.root.mountfrom
instead and update all vdevs on pool.

97371ba2a9 zfsbootcfg: a simple tool to set next boot (one time) options for zfsboot
(gpt)zfsboot will read one-time boot directives from a special ZFS pool
area.  The area was previously described as "Boot Block Header", but
currently it is know as Pad2, marked as reserved and is zeroed out on
pool creation.  The new code interprets data in this area, if any, using
the same format as boot.config.  The area is immediately wiped out.
Failure to parse the directives results in a reboot right after the
cleanup.  Otherwise the boot sequence proceeds as usual.

zfsbootcfg writes zfsboot arguments specified on its command line to the
Pad2 area of a disk identified by vfs.zfs.boot.primary_pool and
vfs.zfs.boot.primary_vdev kenv variables that are set by loader during
boot.  Please see the manual page for more.

Thanks to all who reviewed, contributed and made suggestions!  There are
many potential improvements to the feature, please see the review for
details.
