cluster/dht: Change the subvolume encoding in d_off to be a "global"
position in the graph rather than relative (local) to a particular translator. Encoding the volume in this way allows a single translator to manage which brick is currently being scanned for directory entries. Using a single translator minimizes allocated bits in the d_off. It also allows multiple DHT translators in the same graph to have a common frame of reference (the graph position) for which brick is being read. Multiple DHT translators are needed for the Tiering feature. The fix builds off a previous change (9332) which removed subvolume encoding from AFR. The fix makes an equivalent change to the EC translator. More background can be found in fix 9332 and gluster-dev discussions [1]. DHT and AFR/EC are responsibile (as before) for choosing which brick to enumerate directory entries in over the readdir lifecycle. The client translator receiving the readdir fop encodes the dht_t. It is referred to as the "leaf node" in the graph and corresponds to the brick being scanned. When DHT decodes the d_off, it translates the leaf node to a local subvolume, which represents the next node in the graph leading to the brick. Tracking of leaf nodes is done in common utility functions. Leaf nodes counts and positional information are updated on a graph switch.
