This commit was motivated by https://github.com/zrepl/zrepl/issues/495
where, on FreeBSD with OpenZFS 2.0, a SendStream.Close() call might wait indefinitely for `zfs send` to exit.
The reason is that, due to the refactoring done for redacted send & recv
(https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/commit/30af21b02569ac192f52ce6e6511015f8a8d5729),
the `dump_bytes` function, which writes to the pipe, executes in a separate thread (synctask taskq) iff not `HAVE_LARGE_STACKS`.
The `zfs send` process/thread waits for that taskq thread using an uninterruptible primitive.
So when we SIGKILL `zfs send`, that signal doesn't reach the right thread to interrupt the pipe write.
Theoretically this affects both Linux and FreeBSD, but most Linux users `HAVE_LARGE_STACKS` and since https://github.com/penzfs/zfs/pull/12350/files OpenZFS on FreeBSD `HAVE_LARGE_STACKS` as well.
However, at least until FreeBSD 13.1, possibly for the entire 13 lifecycle, we're going to have to live with that oddity.
Measures taken in this commit:
- Report the behavior as an upstream bug https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/12500
- Change SendStream code so that it closes zrepl's read-end of the pipe (see comment in code)
- Clean up and make explicit SendStream's state handling
- Write extensive platformtests for SendStream
- They pass on my Linux install and on FreeBSD 12
- FreeBSD 13 still needs testing.
