zfs: add enableUnsupportedExperimentalKernel option 

This will allow building ZFS against an unsupported Kernel version.
While possible, it is not supported by upstream or Nixpkgs. As such, we
don’t enable it by default, even for zfs_unstable. Enabling should be a
deliberate choice by the user to opt into potential data corruption bugs.
