This change adds ability to limit output compressed image to a certain size in blocks. We find it useful to make compressed snapshots and leave UFS snapshot metadata out. This could have some other applications as well. Posting it here mostly to get manpages checked.

| 137 | "blocks" is a little ambiguous. Is it a disk block or a filesystem block? Is it a fixed size, or based on the destination? Really, the question is how the user can tell how big a block is. | |

| 137 | This is the value he or she supplies into the -r cluster_size option (i.e. cluster_size). There is a check in the code below to make sure it's actually provided explicitly, as default size of the cluster might vary depending on the compression algorithm selected. Maybe I should replace "block" with "cluster"? | |

| 137 | There might be a better way, something like "this value multiplied by the value of cluster_size". But just s/blocks/clusters/ is arguably as clear. | |
