Enhance zfsadm shrink command

Enhance zfsadm shrink command to give the new size not only in K-bytes but also by a percentage value based on the current size. For example a value of 50 to reduce to half the size. This would allow to have an automated process to reduce size of a zfs data set. It would also simplify the use of the shrink feature.

    Another good option would be percentage of the free space to remain after shrink dependent on current usage.
    For example: ZFS allocation is 200K, space used is 50K, the new free space parameter set to 10% - then after shrink new ZFS allocation would be 55K (50K in use + 10% as free space).
