Build several standalone tools into one binary and switch the function
by name (symlink or hardlink).
* btrfs
* mkfs.btrfs
* btrfs-image
* btrfs-convert
* btrfstune
The static target is also supported. The name of resulting boxed
binaries is btrfs.box and btrfs.box.static . All the binaries can be
built at the same time without prior configuration.

495960 btrfs-image
471224 btrfstune
491864 mkfs.btrfs
1747720 btrfs-convert.static
1411416 btrfs-image.static
1304256 btrfstune.static
1361696 mkfs.btrfs.static
So the shared 900K binary saves ~2M, or ~5.7M for static build.
