libglusterfsclient code changes

- add dentry support to libglusterfsclient.
  - changes related to using array, to store context in inode instead of
    dictionary.
  - code changes related to cleanup of libglusterfsclient interface.
  - added glusterfs_mkdir and glusterfs_rmdir
  - other changes in libglusterfsclient to make it work with code changes
    in other parts of glusterfs.
