Add option to zpool status to print guids
The use of vdev GUIDs are a necessary workaround in edge cases where the names provided by `zpool status` are not accepted by the zpool detach/offline/remove/replace commands. The current method of obtaining them uses zdb, but this does not work in all cases (see #1530). This provides a method of obtaining vdev GUIDs that is more reliable and straightforward than zdb. It would be better to fix all edge cases that require the use of GUIDs as a workaround, but Linux's /dev design makes it difficult to anticipate such edge cases, which makes this option necessary. Note that this adds a new boolean parameter to `zpool_vdev_name`, which changes the libzfs interface. Closes #2011 Signed-off-by: Richard Yao <ryao@gentoo.org>
