dht,posix: support for case discovery

This is support for discovering a filename in a given directory
which has a case insensitive match of a given name. It is implemented
as a virtual extended attribute on the directory where the required
filename is specified in the key.

E.g:

  sh# getfattr -e "text" -n user.glusterfs.get_real_filename:FiLe-B /mnt/samba/patchy
  getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
  # file: mnt/samba/patchy
  user.glusterfs.get_real_filename:FiLe-B="file-b"

In reality, there can be multiple "answers" as the backend filesystem is
case sensitive and there can be multiple files which can strcasecamp()
successfully. In this case we pick the first matched file from the first
responding server.

If a matching file does not exist, we return ENOENT (and NOT ENODATA).
This way the caller can differentiate between "unsupported" glusterfs
API and file not existing.

This API is used by Samba VFS to perform efficient discovery of the real
filename without doing a full scan at the Samba level.
