Description

In order to avoid bugs like https://www.illumos.org/issues/6585 (cf. https://github.com/openzfs/openzfs/pull/51) in the future, @ahrens suggested, "It would be nice if zfeature_register() could verify that if ZFEATURE_FLAG_PER_DATASET is set, then the feature depends on SPA_FEATURE_EXTENSIBLE_DATASET." The converse need not be true.

(if A, then B) is equivalent to (~A || B), so we can VERIFY that ZFEATURE_FLAG_PER_DATASET is not set or SPA_FEATURE_EXTENSIBLE_DATASET is in the dependency array.
