Add options to zfs redundant_metadata property

Description

Add options to zfs redundant_metadata property

Currently, additional/extra copies are created for metadata in
addition to the redundancy provided by the pool(mirror/raidz/draid),
due to this 2 times more space is utilized per inode and this decreases
the total number of inodes that can be created in the filesystem. By
setting redundant_metadata to none, no additional copies of metadata
are created, hence can reduce the space consumed by the additional
metadata copies and increase the total number of inodes that can be
created in the filesystem. Additionally, this can improve file create
performance due to the reduced amount of metadata which needs
to be written.
