qa: add numerous subtree test
When the ESubtreeMap is very large (~5k+ subtrees), the MDS will
end up logging only a few events (as bad as 1) per segment as the
subtree map dominates the segment size.

This test simply creates an artificially large subtree and confirms that
other file system activity completes in a timely manner. This is now
taking advantage of the minor segments which allows for a normal set of
events per log segment (and fewer subtree maps). The test fails on the
current main HEAD.

Historical note: when I first observed this abberant behavior, the
vstart cluster was actually using mds_debug_subtrees = True (the default
for every vstart cluster). This caused the MDS to write out the subtree
map (for debugging reasons) with every event. When testing the MDS with
large subtrees (distributed ephemeral pinning), this caused the MDS to
slow to a trickle of operations per second. Despite this unintentional
misconfiguration, the problem still exists but the number of auth
subtrees must be large for a particlar rank to replicate the behavior.

On main HEAD, the creation of 10k files (workload stage) takes ~110
seconds. On this branch, it takes ~30 seconds.

-------------

clusters/    - some predefined cluster layouts
suites/      - set suite

The suites directory has a hierarchical collection of tests.  This can be
freeform, but generally follows the convention of

  suites/<test suite name>/<test group>/...

A test is described by a yaml fragment.

A test can exist as a single .yaml file in the directory tree.  For example:

 suites/foo/one.yaml
 suites/foo/two.yaml

is a simple group of two tests.

A directory with a magic '+' file represents a test that combines all
other items in the directory into a single yaml fragment.  For example:

 suites/foo/bar/+
 suites/foo/bar/a.yaml
 suites/foo/bar/b.yaml
 suites/foo/bar/c.yaml

is a single test consisting of a + b + c.

A directory with a magic '%' file represents a test matrix formed from
all other items in the directory.  For example,

 suites/baz/%
 suites/baz/a.yaml
 suites/baz/b/b1.yaml
 suites/baz/b/b2.yaml
 suites/baz/c.yaml
 suites/baz/d/d1.yaml
 suites/baz/d/d2.yaml

is a 4-dimensional test matrix.  Two dimensions (a, c) are trivial (1
item), so this is really 2x2 = 4 tests, which are

  a + b1 + c + d1
  a + b1 + c + d2
  a + b2 + c + d1
  a + b2 + c + d2

A directory with a magic '$' file, or a directory whose name ends with '$',
represents a test where one of the non-magic items is chosen randomly.  For
example, both

 suites/foo/$
 suites/foo/a.yaml
 suites/foo/b.yaml
 suites/foo/c.yaml

and

 suites/foo$/a.yaml
 suites/foo$/b.yaml
 suites/foo$/c.yaml

is a single test, either a, b or c.  This can be used in conjunction with the
'%' file in the same (see below) or other directories to run a series of tests
without causing an unwanted increase in the total number of jobs run.

Symlinks are okay.

One particular use of symlinks is to combine '%' and the latter form of '$'
feature.  Consider supported_distros directory containing fragments that define
os_type and os_version:

 supported_distros/%
 supported_distros/centos.yaml
 supported_distros/rhel.yaml
 supported_distros/ubuntu.yaml

A test that links supported_distros as distros (a name that doesn't end with
'$') will be run three times: on centos, rhel and ubuntu.  A test that links
supported_distros as distros$ will be run just once: either on centos, rhel or
ubuntu, chosen randomly.
