dht: make DHT xattr names configurable

This is necessary to support "DHT over DHT" configurations, so that the
upper and lower instances of DHT don't step all over each other.  Why
would we even consider such a thing?  Because it gives us the ability to
do data tiering and rack-aware placement, either by themselves or as
complements to other functionality such as erasure codes or
deduplication which save space but cost performance.  By setting up the
top-level DHT to place data into one of several lower-level DHT pools
based on policy instead of pure elastic hashing, we get better
performance for 90% of accesses and better storage efficiency for 90% of
data, all for relatively low effort.
