afr: Ignore gluster internal (virtual) xattrs in metadata heal check

Problem:
In arbiter configuration, posix-xlator in the arbiter brick always sets
the GF_CONTENT_KEY in the response dict with a value 0. If the file size on
the data bricks is more than quick-read's max-file-size (64kb default),
those bricks don't set the key. Because of this difference in the no. of dict
elements, afr triggers metadata heal in lookup code path, in turn
leading to extra lookups+inodelks.

Fix:
Changed afr dict comparison logic to ignore all virtual xattrs and the
on-disk ones that we should not be healing.

Also removed is_virtual_xattr() function. The original callers to this
function (upcall) don't seem to need it anymore.

-/* This function checks if the input key is a virtual or on disk xattr.
- * Its not simple to identify a virtual xattr as there is no common
- * format used to identify virtual xattrs. One way is to list each of the
- * xattrs in different categories and compare the input against every xattr
- * in the list, this is very inefficient as there are 100s of xattrs.
- *
- * Currently the only consumer of this function is upcall and md-cache,
- * hence tailoring this function to their needs; in their case its allowed
- * to consider disk xattrs as virtual xattrs, but not vice versa, i.e.
- * virtual xattrs should not be considered as on disk xattr. Hence, being
- * conservative, we consider anything that starts from user.*, security.*,
- * system.* as on disk xattrs. trusted.* and glusterfs.* cannot be considered
- * as virtual xattrs as there are some on disk xattrs which start from
- * glusterfs.* and trusted.*
- *
- * Hence, this function could return an on disk xattr as virtual xattr but
- * never a virtual xattr as on disk xattr.
