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.

Neal points out that the python bindings of libbtrfsutil version is set
from the library ABI rather than the package itself. As this brings some
confusion to packaging, derive the verion the main package too.

These are the most trivial helpers in the library and will be used to
implement several of the more involved functions.

We want to hide struct btrfs_qgroup_inherit from the user because that
comes from the Btrfs UAPI headers. Instead, wrap it in a struct
btrfs_util_qgroup_inherit and provide helpers to manipulate it. This
will be used for subvolume and snapshot creation.

The C libbtrfsutil library isn't very useful for scripting, so we also
want bindings for Python. Writing unit tests in Python is also much
easier than doing so in C. Only Python 3 is supported; if someone really
wants Python 2 support, they can write their own bindings. This commit
is just the scaffolding.
