FreeBSD note: rather than merging the zpool.8 update I copied the zpool
scrub section from the illumos zpool.1m to FreeBSD zpool.8 almost
verbatim. Now that the illumos page uses the mdoc format, it was an
easier option. Perhaps the change is not in perfect compliance with the
FreeBSD style, but I think that it is acceptible.

This issue tracks the port of scrub pause from ZoL: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/pull/6167
Currently, there is no way to pause a scrub. Pausing may be useful when
the pool is busy with other I/O to preserve bandwidth.
Description
This patch adds the ability to pause and resume scrubbing. This is achieved
by maintaining a persistent on-disk scrub state. While the state is 'paused'
we do not scrub any more blocks. We do however perform regular scan
housekeeping such as freeing async destroyed and deadlist blocks while paused.
Motivation and Context
Scrub pausing can be an I/O intensive operation and people have been asking
for the ability to pause a scrub for a while. This allows one to preserve scrub
progress while freeing up bandwidth for other I/O.
