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).

David Woodhouse originally contributed this code, and Chris Mason
changed it around to reflect the current design goals for raid56.
The original code expected all metadata and data writes to be full
stripes. This meant metadata block size == stripe size, and had a few
other restrictions.
This version allows metadata blocks smaller than the stripe size. It
implements both raid5 and raid6, although it does not have code to
rebuild from parity if one of the drives is missing or incorrect.
