Most easily reproducible by attempting to activate the currently activated
BE, one would get a "not a cloned filesystem" error instead of success or a
sane message.

This allows older BEs to be destroyed as they become replaced by a BE
created from them: e.g.
bectl create -e brokenworld fixedworld
bectl activate fixedworld
bectl destroy brokenworld

Some paths through be_exists will set the error state, others will not
There are multiple reasons that a call can fail, so clean it up a bit: all
paths now return an appropriate error code so the caller can attempt to
distinguish between a BE legitimately not existing and just having the wrong
mountpoint. The caller is expected to bubble the error through to the
internal error handler as needed.
This fixes some unfriendliness with bectl(8)'s activate subcommand, where
it might fail due to a bad mountpoint but the only message output is a
generic "failed to activate" message.

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.

Previously, we only validated names for character restrictions. This is
helpful, but we should've also checked length restrictions- dataset names
must be restricted to MAXNAMELEN.
While here, move validation before doing a bunch of concatenations and fix
error handling in be_rename. It was previously setting the error state based
on return value from a libzfs function, which is wrong: libzfs errors don't
necessarily match cleanly to libbe errors. This would cause the assertion in
be_error to hit when the error was printed.
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).
The mostly-undocumented 'add' functionality, from initial read-through, is
intended for construction of deep ("bdrewery style") boot environments.
However, it's mostly broken at this point. `#if SOON` it out on both sides
so that we're not exposing a broken API/feature.
Work will resume on it in due time.
be_add_child functionality gets split out into separate places as a bonus.
A lot of places here we'll gloss over libzfs errors, because they shouldn't
be happening given the conditions that we're operating under. "Unknown
error" is what I'm intending to use for the moment to indicate an
exceptional circumstance- exceptional enough that we can't tell the consumer
did because we're not so certain that they did anything.
- 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
Loader is still relied upon at the beginning of libbe to specify the be
root, but we can derive from that the primary zpool and any vdevs that we
need to set nextboot bits on.
This lets me successfully `bectl activate -t test`, but UEFI loader doesn't
quite yet understand so it's effectively defunct.
This also accomplishes the following:
- Proxy through zfs_nicenum as be_nicenum, because it looks better than
humanize_number and would presumably be useful to other libbe consumers.
- Rename be_get_snapshot_props to be_get_dataset_props, make it more useful
Based on the idea that we shouldn't have all-new library and utility going
into base that need WARNS=1...
- Decent amount of constification
- Lots of parentheses
- Minor other nits
This makes us more resilient to a rename of the bootfs, but still wouldn't
withstand pool renames or guid renames. More importantly, this allows `bectl
create <foo>` work out of the box to create a boot environment based on the
currently booted one.
- Rename 'active' to 'rootfs', which is used in other places to describe the
currently booted (or about to be booted) BE.
- Add 'bootfs', which indicates the next boot environment to be booted. This
is pulled from the BOOTFS zpool property.
- Go ahead and keep an open handle to the active zpool. We might need to
enumerate datasets, get properties, and set properties (e.g. bootfs)
throughout other libbe bits, and a single handle isn't overly expensive.
