The initial version of libbtrfsutil did not follow a unified naming
scheme that's usually used for libraries like those provide by
util-linux. Add aliases that are "btrfs_util_" + object + action +
suffix.
The library version changes to 1.3 but there's no new functionality,
only the aliases added. New functions can be added in the future without
possible confusion when the same action could apply to different
objects.

The tool IWYU (include what you use) suggests to remove and add some
includes. Update the includes of implementation files only.

This relicenses the libbtrfsutil library to LGPLv2.1+ from LGPLv3.
People that have contributed non-trivial changes acknowledged the change
and are listed below.
There's a potential licensing conflict with the 'btrfs' utility that is
GPLv2 and statically links libbtrfsutil, this is not a valid combination
per the compatibility matrix as found in
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility or
http://gplv3.fsf.org/dd3-faq .
We also have an explicit request to change the license [1] (issue #323)
from LGPLv3 to allow use in environments that don't like GPLv3. Though
the library license is not GPLv3, the full text of the license is in the
repository and the 'lesser' part is an addendum. This was perhaps a bit
confusing, nevertheless this gets clarified as well.

Systems with older kernels won't have these available, and the copies in
btrfs-progs aren't quite compatible, so for now, let's just copy these
in. We can potentially deduplicate some of this in the future.
