Summary

  • The man page stated "all pools in the system are listed" which is misleading, as only imported pools are shown
  • Clarify this and add a cross-reference to zpool-import(8)

Closes #13650

Testing

  • man -l man/man8/zpool-list.8 renders correctly
  • CI checkstyle passes

The man page stated "all pools in the system are listed" which is
misleading, as only imported pools are shown. Clarify this and
add a cross-reference to zpool-import(8) for discovering pools
available for import.
