If other programs depend on aspects of the output of fstyp -v or fstyp
-a output on a ZFS vdev, we should probably boost the stability level of
specific fields in the output and clarify what will remain subject to
change.  For instance we could say that the pool_guid, hostname, and
hostid won't go away or change meaning, but that other fields may appear
or disappear, and that fields may be reordered at any time.
