Title: Skip dataset feature

I've added functionality to skip datasets using a new periodic.conf setting containing a space-seperated list of datasets to be skipped when snapshotting. This is useful for setups with zvols that cannot be snapshotted, or other situations where snapshots are not desired.

This has the added side-effect of allowing zfs-periodic to skip a snapshot if it already exists for some reason, where the previous code would not take any of the snapshots if one existed.

Finally I've shortened the function scrub_in_progress() and added a couple of comments in periodic.conf.
