gsyncd / geo-rep: "disjoint" cascading geo-replication sessions

Slave's xtime is now stored on the master itself (and that too only on
the root), which implies it cannot be propogated to the cascaded slave.
Thus the intermediate master now makes use of it's own volume information
to propogate volume-mark and xtime.

On starting Geo-Replication "geo-replication.ignore-pid-check" marker
option is enabled, which is an override for the client-pid check in
marker. This options triggers marker update only for geo-replication
auxillary mount (client-pid == -1). Since gsyncd not does setxattr()
directly on the bricks, this option won't trigger a chain of spurious
metadata updates that would need to be processed by gsyncd.
