Summary

bectl advertises that it has the ability to create recursive and non-recursive boot environments. This
patch implements that functionality using the be_create_depth API provided by libbe. With this patch,
bectl now works as bectl(8) describes in regards to creating recursive/non-recursive boot environments.

Test Plan
  1. Create a non-recursive boot environment and ensure it has no child datasets.
  2. Create a recursive boot environment and ensure it has a child dataset.

These tests have been added. The existing tests passed on my machine.

I'd go ahead and combine this branch with the branch below, given how similar they are. The be_snapshot invocation still looks OK even if it's snapname != NULL ? snapname : be_active_path(be), though perhaps a little wordy.
