glusterd: Calculate volume op-versions only on set/resetv3.4.1qa2

  Backport of http://review.gluster.org/5568

The volume op-versions are calculated during a volume set/reset, reading a
volume from disk and importing a volume during probe or volume sync. The
calculation of the volume op-version depends on the clusters op-version as some
features are enabled automatically depending on the clusters op-version. We
also don't store the volume op-versions persistently and don't export the
volume op-versions during sync. Due to this, there can occur cases which will
lead to inconsistencies in volumes in different peers. One such case is below,
Consider, a cluster made up 3 peers P1, P2 and P3, operating at op-version N.
The cluster has two volumes V1 and V2, which have volume op-versions N (since
volume op-version cannot be greater than cluster op-version). We have,
 Cluster-op-version = N
 V1 op-version = N
 V2 op-version = N
A set operation on V1 causes the clusters op-version to be bumped up to N+1.
Assume that there exist some features that are automatically enabled on
op-version N+1. The op-version of V2 remains at N as no operation has been
performed on it. So,
 Cluster op-version = N+1
 V1 op-version = N+1
 V2 op-version = N
Now, we probe a new peer P4. On the new peer we will have the following
op-versions,
 Cluster op-version = N+1
 V1 op-version = N+1
 V2 op-version = N+1
This happens because we don't send volume op-versions during the sync after
probe. P4 will freshly calculate the op-version of V2 (assuming features have
been auto enabled due to the cluster op-version being N+1) as N+1.
Another case is when glusterd on a peer restarts. Assume P3 was restarted,
glusterd will recalculate the volume op-versions during the restore state.
Again, op-version of V2 will be calculated as N+1 assuming auto enabled
features. This will lead to inconsistency in the volume representation in
memory and on disk, as glusterd will assume the volume contains auto enabled
features, but the volfiles don't contain them as they were not regenrated.
These kind of issues can be solved by calculating the volume op-version only
when features are enabled and disabled (ie. during volume set/reset),
persisting the volume-op-versions and exporting/importing them.
