This commit changes the btrfs send/receive commands to use the
UUID tree to map UUIDs to subvolumes, and to use the root tree
to map subvolume IDs to paths. Now these tools start fast and are
independent on the number of subvolules/snapshot that exist.
Before this commit, mapping UUIDs to subvolume IDs was an operation
with a high effort. The algorithm even had quadratic effort (based
on the number of existing subvolumes). E.g. with 15,000 subvolumes
it took much more than 5 minutes on a state of the art XEON CPU to
start btrfs send or receive before these tools were able to send or
receive the first byte).
Even linear effort instead of the current quadratic effort would be
too much since it would be a waste. And these data structures to
allow mapping UUIDs to subvolume IDs had been created every time a
btrfs send/receive instance was started.
It is much more efficient to maintain a searchable persistent data
structure in the filesystem, one that is updated whenever a
subvolume/snapshot is created and deleted, and when the received
subvolume UUID is set by the btrfs-receive tool.
Therefore kernel code was added that is able to maintain data
structures in the filesystem that allow to quickly search for a
given UUID and to retrieve data that is assigned to this UUID, like
which subvolume ID is related to this UUID.

Several tools like btrfs-send and btrfs-receive need to map a
subvolume ID to a filesystem path. The so far existing methods
in btrfs-list.c cause a horrible effort when performing this
operation (and the effort is dependent on the number of
existing subvolumes with quadratic effort). This commit adds a
function that is able to map a subvolume ID to a filesystem path
with an effort that is independent of the number of existing
subvolumes.
In addition to this function, a command line frontend is added as well:
btrfs inspect-internal subvolid-resolve <subvolid> <path>

There was no way to free the memory that was used for the
subvol_uuid_search functions. Since this is part of the libbtrfs,
add such a cleanup function.

External software wanting to use the functionality provided by the btrfs
send ioctl has a hard time doing so without replicating tons of work. Of
particular interest are functions like btrfs_read_and_process_send_stream()
and subvol_uuid_search(). As that functionality requires a bit more than
just send-stream.c and send-utils.c we have to pull in some other parts of
the progs package.
This patch adds code to the Makefile and headers to create a library,
libbtrfs which the btrfs command now links to.

Please find attached a patch to make the new libbtrfs usable from
C++ (at least for the parts snapper will likely need).
