glusterd: allow multiple instances of glusterd on one machine

This is needed to support automated testing of cluster-communication
features such as probing and quorum.  In order to use this, you need to
do the following preparatory steps.

* Copy /var/lib/glusterd to another directory for each virtual host

* Ensure that each virtual host has a different UUID in its glusterd.info

Now you can start each copy of glusterd with the following xlator-options.

* management.transport.socket.bind-address=$ip_address

* management.working-directory=$unique_working_directory

You can use 127.x.y.z addresses for binding without needing to assign
them to interfaces explicitly.  Note that you must use addresses, not
names, because of some stuff in the socket code that's not worth fixing
just for this usage, but after that you can use names in /etc/hosts
instead.

At this point you can issue CLI commands to a specific glusterd using
the --remote-host option.  So far probe, volume create/start/stop,
mount, and basic I/O all seem to work as expected with multiple
instances.
