I sent out an e-mail on 2020/01/21 with a plan to do this to Kyle, Rob, and
Wes; all parties have responded in the affirmative that it's OK to drop it
from these files.
This command simply returns 0 at the moment and explicitly takes no
arguments. This should be used by utilities wanting to see if bectl can
operate on the system they're running, or with a specific root (`bectl -r`).
It may grow more checks than "will libbe successfully init" in the future,
but for now this is enough as that checks for the dataset mounted at "/" and
that it looks capable of being a BE root (e.g. it's not a top-level dataset)
bectl commands can now specify if they want to be silent, and this will turn
off libbe_print_on_error so they can control the output as needed. This is
already used in `bectl check`, and may be turned on in the future for some
other commands where libbe errors are better suppressed as the failure mode
may be obvious.

Allow 'bectl list' to sort output by a given property name. The property
name is passed in using a command-line flag, '-c' for ascending order and
'-C' for descending order. The properties allowed to sort by are:
- name (the default output, even if '-c' or '-C' are not used)
- creation
- origin
- used
- usedds
- usedsnap
- usedrefreserv
The default output for 'bectl list' is now ascending alphabetical order of
BE name.
To sort by creation time from earliest to latest, the command would be
'bectl list -c creation'

In commit r345845, a portion of documentation for the create subcommand was
removed. Specifically, for creating a snapshot of an existing boot
environment. bectl even has a test-case for this functionality.
Removing the sub-command description was discussed in PR 235850.
This patch brings back the second "create" description that was originally
in place. Albeit, with a few wording/clarifying changes.

We can't predict when destruction of origin is needed, and currently we have
a precedent for not prompting for things. Leave the decision up to the user
of bectl(8) if they want the origin snapshot to be destroyed or not.
Emits a warning when -o isn't used and an origin snapshot is left to be
cleaned up, for the time being. This is handy when one drops the -o flag but
really did want to clean up the origin.
A couple of -e ignore's have been sprinkled around the test suite for places
that we don't care that the origin's not been cleaned up. -o functionality
tests will be added in the future, but are omitted for now to reduce
conflicts with work in flight to fix bits of the tests.

By default, bectl is setting the jail 'name' parameter to the boot
environment name, which causes an error when the boot environment name is
not a valid jail name. With the attached fix, when no name is supplied, the
default jail name will be the jail id - this is is the same behavior as the
jail command.
Additionally, this commit addresses two other bugs that prevented unjailing
in scenarios where the jail name does not match the boot environment name:
1. In 'bectl_locate_jail', 'mountpoint' is used to resolve the boot
environment path, but really 'mounted' should be used. 'mountpoint' is the
path where the zfs dataset will be mounted. 'mounted' is the path where
the dataset is actually mounted.
2. in 'bectl_search_jail_paths', 'jail_getv' would fail after the first
call. Which is fine, if the boot environment you're unjailing is the next
one up. According to 'man jail_getv', it's expecting name and value
strings. 'jail_getv' is being passed an integer for the lastjid, so amend
that to use a string instead.
Test cases have been amended to reflect the bugs found.

Those two manual pages are already referencing each other in the HISTORY
sections, which people might skip. Mention those manual pages explicitly in
the SEE ALSO sections. Also, remove a reference to be(1) from libbe(3).

vermaden (maintainer of beadm) points out the following inconsistencies:
- "missing command" is not printed prior to usage if the error is simply a
missing command; this should be obvious from the context
- "bectl rename" isn't using the "don't unmount" flag (zfs rename -u), so
the active BE can't be renamed. It doesn't make sense in our context to
*not* use -u, so use it.
Documentation updates reflect the above and note an inconsistency with the
'destroy' command that is consistent with other parts of the base system.
A fix for libbe(3) not properly being installed to /lib is included.
SHLIBDIR should have been added when it was moved in r337995.

Add a -U flag to get back the old behavior. The new behavior is a little
more friendly to the common use cases, jail the BE and execute a script.
Having the jail torn down automatically when the script is finished, or when
you exit the shell, is a little more friendly than having to remember to
`bectl ujail`.
Batch mode (-b) will continue to leave the jail up, as it's assumed the
caller has other intentions.

Instead of always running /bin/sh, allow the user to specify the command
to run. The jail is not removed when the command finishes. Meaning,
`bectl unjail` will still need to be run.
For example:
```
bectl jail newBE pkg upgrade
bectl ujail newBE
```

Deleting the temp snapshot isn't immediately possible because it's the
origin of the newly imported boot environment. However, this is trivially
solved by opening the new boot environment and promoting it. The roles are
now reversed and the temp snapshot/dataset may be completely destroyed.
Remove the BUGS from libbe(3) and bectl(8).
- File names don't necessarily need to be repeated
- Add SPDX tags
- Add a missing copyright for Kyle Kneitinger in bectl.8, originally written
by him in GSoC 2017; his standard copyright notice has been copied from
other files within the same directory to remain consistent with how he
clearly wished to portray it
- Support passing arbitrary jail arguments via -o
- Split the related (and rewritten since the GSoC) jail bits out into a new
bectl_jail.c file, to reduce clutter in bectl.c
- Don't use RFC 1918 IP space [0]; we'll instead set no default IPv4 and let
the user pass in any address options they wish via -o

The given parameter may either be a jid, jail name, or a BE name. In all
cases, the parameter will be resolved to a jid and bectl(8) will
sanity-check that there's actually a BE mounted at the requested jail root
before invoking jail_remove(2).
