Andrea Bolognani ca4dc9613f meson: Enable ZFS storage backend even more often
Commit 73a2ff3616 already improved the situation a lot. This
pushes things even further.

If the user or, more likely, the distro packager explicitly
asked for ZFS support to be enabled, then we should comply with
that request regardless of whether the necessary programs are
available at build time.

This is particularly important in the context of Debian, where
ZFS cannot be a build dependency of libvirt due to licensing
issues but it can still be an optional runtime dependency.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================

Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
