This is to prevent any unforeseen problems that might arise due to
writevs and readvs being wound with @flag parameter containing
O_TRUNC or O_APPEND especially wrt translators like sharding and ec
where O_TRUNC write or O_APPEND write on individual shards/fragments
is not the same as O_TRUNC write or O_APPEND write as expected by the
application.

<title>core, shard: Make shards inherit main file's O_DIRECT flag if present</title>

If the application opens a file with O_DIRECT, the shards'
anon fds would also need to inherit the flag. Towards this,
shard xl would be passing the odirect flag in the @flags parameter
to the WRITEV fop. This will be used in anon fd resolution
and subsequent opening by posix xl.

 * xlators like quota, marker, posix_acl can cause problems
   if inode-ctx are not created.
   sometime these xlarors may not get lookup on root inode
   with below cases
   1) client may not send lookup on root inode (like NSR leader)
   2) if the xlators on one of the bricks are not up,
      and client sending lookup during this time: brick
      can miss the lookup
   It is always better to make sure that there is one lookup
   on root. So send a first lookup when the inode table is created

 * When sending lookup on root, new inode is created, we need to
   use itable-&gt;root instead

<title>protocol/server: use different dict for resolving</title>

protocol/server has to resolve the inode before continuing with any fop coming
from the clients. For resolving it, server xlator was using the same dict
associated with the fop. It causes problems in some situations.

If a directory's inode was forgotten because of lru limit being exceeded, then
when a create fop comes for an entry within that directory, server tries to
resolve it. But since the parent directory's inode is not found in the inode
table, it tries to do a hard resolve by doing a lookup on the parent gfid.

If any xlator below server wants to get some extended attributes whenever
lookup comes, then they set the new keys in the same dict that came along with
the create fop. Now, the lookup of the parent succeeds and the create fop
proceeds with the same dict (with extra keys present). posix xlaror creates
those xattrs that are present in the dict. Thus the xattrs which were not to
be present by default are also set as part of create. (Ex: bit-rot related
xattrs such as bad-file, version and sign xattrs)

Instead of including config.h in each file, and have the additional

When a .c file tests for a certain #define, and config.h was not
included, incorrect assumtions were made. With this change, it can not

glusterfs relies on Linux uuid implementation, which
API is incompatible with most other systems's uuid. As
a result, libglusterfs has to embed contrib/uuid,
which is the Linux implementation, on non Linux systems.
This implementation is incompatible with systtem's
built in, but the symbols have the same names.

Usually this is not a problem because when we link
with -lglusterfs, libc's symbols are trumped. However
there is a problem when a program not linked with
-lglusterfs will dlopen() glusterfs component. In
such a case, libc's uuid implementation is already
loaded in the calling program, and it will be used
instead of libglusterfs's implementation, causing
crashes.

A possible workaround is to use pre-load libglusterfs
in the calling program (using LD_PRELOAD on NetBSD for
instance), but such a mechanism is not portable, nor
is it flexible. A much better approach is to rename
libglusterfs's uuid_* functions to gf_uuid_* to avoid
any possible conflict. This is what this change attempts.
