1) ruleset is an obsolete term, and
2) crush-{rule,failure-domain,...} is more descriptive.
Note that we are changing the names of the erasure code profile keys
from ruleset-* to crush-*. We will update this on upgrade when the
luminous flag is set, but that means that during mon upgrade you cannot
create EC pools that use these fields.
When the upgrade completes (users sets require_osd_release = luminous)
existing ec profiles are updated automatically.

It's been confusing for a long time that EC pools are implemented by
ReplicatedPG. What PG/ReplicatedPG really implement is the concept
of a PG where consistency is managed by the primary via a log.

The prototype of the init functions of erasure coded plugins is changed
from
int __erasure_code_init(char *plugin_name)
to
int __erasure_code_init(char *plugin_name, char *directory)
The jerasure plugin will find optimized variants in this directory and
load them. The load() and preload() functions of
ErasureCodePluginRegistry only use a directory instead of a more generic
parameters map. The parameters map was only used for the directory entry
anyway.

* Warn the reader that the implementation is ahead and may differ
* Update the links to the Firefly branch
* Remove links to issues used during development to avoid confusion

* The parameters come from the erasure code profile
* Add a note about the upstream submodules gf-complete / jerasure

Update the introduction to explain erasure code profiles. Remove
obsolete explanations about partial writes etc. Remove links to tickets
used during development. Update permalinks to be closer to
Firefly (v0.78).

Based on a dialog with Sam ( as published at http://dachary.org/?p=2320 ).
* Remove PGBackend-h.rst because PGBackend.h is now in master.
* Fix typos caught by ispell
* Update recovery links to point to PGBackend recover methods
* Workaround formating warning
developer_notes.rst:3: WARNING: Duplicate explicit target name:
"erasurecodepluginexample" which should be legitimate.

* Update to the current state of the ghobject implementaiton and the fact
that they encode the shard_t Although the pool also contains the shard
id, it is less relevant to understand the implementation.
* Update with the erasure code plugin infrastructure and the example
plugin now in master.
* Move jerasure to a separate page to be expanded and link it from the
toc
* Kill the partial read and writes notes as it will probably not be
implemented in the near future. Kill some of the notes because they
are no longer relevant.
* Add a definition for "chunk rank"
* Reword, update schemas, fix typos.
