object-storage: remove glusterfs filter requirement

Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=870589

Remove the Glusterfs object, transforming it into a module providing module
data fields (like swift.common.constraints) and module methods for
mounting/unmounting and access the gluster volume information. As a result, we
can then remove the glusterfs filter from the pipeline since we no longer need
to provide the Glusterfs object through all the plugin code paths.

This is one more step closer to removing our dependency on modifying the Swift
code directly with these changes. See It is also the first step to acknowledging
that we are not a plugin, but a layering on top of Swift.

The major piece of work here is based on a recognition that the
plugins/Glusterfs.py module provided a Glusterfs class that instantiated
instances of an object that always contained the same data from the
configuration file. The fields of such an object were not being changed and
were treated as read-only in all cases. Since the object's data was the same
for all instantiations there was no need to pass the data from the glusterfs
filter all the way down into the bowels of the Gluster_DiskFile and DiskDir
objects.

Taking advantage of the nature of that data, we now just have those fields
read into module variables, and change the Glusterfs object methods into
module level functions. Much of the changes result from the consequence of
making that switch from object to module.

Here are a few other changes made along the way:

  * Bump the release numbers in the spec files in recognition of these changes

  * Create the plugins/fs_utils.py module so that the methods in the
    plugins/Glusterfs.py module don't have to include plugins/utils.py, which
    would create a circular dependency

    * Note that this dependency comes from methods in plugins/utils.py
      depending on the module level constructs in plugins/Glusterfs.py so that
      we only store those values in one place

  * Changed plugins/DiskDir.py:DiskDir class to not check for, and/or
    optionally create, the /etc/swift/db_file.db at run time, just create it a
    module init time

  * Removed the duplicate strip_obj_storage_path() from plugins/DiskDir.py and
    utils.py and move it to the Glusterfs module

  * Used os.path.join in plugins/DiskDir.py where possible

  * Renamed the .conf files to .conf-gluster so that we don't clobber existing
    config files

    * This is not a complete change, as the spec file also needs to be
      modified to avoid the clobbering

    * See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=865867

  * Removed the redundant DIR_TYPE definition in plugins/utils.py

  * Removed MOUNT_PATH from plugins/utils.py replacing references with that from
    Glusterfs

    * This actually fixes a bug if a user every used a different mount path
      from the default in fs.conf

  * Added ASYNCDIR definition to plugins/utils.py until such time as another
    refactoring can rely on the one from swift.obj.server

  * Renamed plugins/utils.py's plugin_enabled() function to Gluster_enabled()

  * The diffs we carry for Swift are now a bit smaller in that we no longer
    have to add the plugin() method, we don't have to keep a fs_object field
    in these objects, and we can reference the Glusterfs module directly

  * Unit tests were modified appropriately, but now need to be run in the
    context of a Swift tree; this is unfortunate, but further refactoring will
    address this
