ctypes is fundamentally incapable of providing safe callback support
(exceptions during callbacks are not handled properly). To fix this, and also
gain more flexibility, rewrite/port the librbd bindings to Cython instead.
Other Python bindings are expected to migrate to Cython in the future.
Reference: http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/13115
To support this, this change also:
- Introduces a Makefile for pybind which calls setup.py
- Updates the installation files for packages
- Adds a hack to admin/build-doc to build a dummy librbd, avoiding the need to
build the entire client library just to generate documentation (Sphinx needs
to be able to import rbd.so, which depends on librbd.so symbols).

- move argparse to ceph-common
- split out rados, rbd, and cephfs bindings into their own packages
- keep python-ceph as a metapackage
