zfsonlinux/zfs — Issue #430: name conflict with the regular AVL library for Linux

The `libavl.so` file provided by the ZFS utilities conflicts with the libavl-dev package that is already in Debian and Ubuntu:

* http://packages.debian.org/file:libavl.so
* http://packages.ubuntu.com/file:libavl.so

In pkg-zfs, this causes a package conflict that requires a lint override and a downstream package rename.

Consider renaming libavl to libzavl so that it does not conflict with any other software that is already in regular distribution.
