zpool-labelclear.8: Warn that it's destructive
If I could go back in time, I would beg Sun engineers to pick a different name. For those of us who have not read the ZFS On-Disk Specification pdf, it is not at all obvious that clearing a "label" is such a bad thing. But changing the name would be a breaking change, so at least for now we can update the documentation.
