classification: provide infra to start labelling features/components
`doc/xlator-classification.md` talks about the reasoning and expectations Reviewers are expected to check the 'category' of new option / translator added in the codebase, and make sure the flag is always properly set. It helps to keep the 'expectation' proper on the codebase. updates: #430 Change-Id: I2bfc9934a5f6eed77fcc3e20364046242decc82c Signed-off-by: Amar Tumballi <amarts@redhat.com>

### How to specify an xlators category
-(TBD)
+While defining 'xlator_api_t' structure for the corresponding xlator, add a
+flag like below:
+
+```

+ };
+```
+
+Similarly, if a particular option is in different state other than
+the xlator state, one can add the same flag in options structure too.
