features/compress: Compression/DeCompression translator
* When a writev call occurs, the client compresses the data before
sending it to server. On the server, compressed data is decompressed.
Similarly, when a readv call occurs, the server compresses the data
before sending it to client. On the client, the compressed data is
decompressed. Thus the amount of data sent over the wire is minimized.
* Compression/Decompression is done using Zlib library.
* During normal operation, this is the format of data sent over wire :
<compressed-data> + trailer(8)
The trailer contains the CRC32 checksum and length of original
uncompressed data. This is used for validation.
HOW TO USE
----------
Turning on compression xlator:
gluster volume set <vol_name> compress on
Configurable options:
gluster volume set <vol_name> compress.compression-level 8
gluster volume set <vol_name> compress.min-size 50
