libglusterfsclient: Revert and re-do readdir conformance

This commit basically reverts the previous readdir conformance
patch I sent a few days back. That commit had a completely retarded
and broken way of maintaining per-directory dirent.

It was broken for two reasons:
1. Creating a wrapper structure around the directory's fd_t
only for storing a struct dirent is not clean enough. This commit
takes a better approach by storing the dirent in fd_t context.
This dirent is valid only if the fd_t refers to a directory.

2. That commit was made and tested under the assumption (..stupidity
is a better word..) that only opendir call is used for opening a
directory. That is not correct. Directories are also opened using the
open syscall. The point is, glusterfs_open returns an fd_t and so did
glusterfs_opendir. The previous patch actually changed opendir to
return a new wrapper structure. That is fine, if we go by the POSIX
definition of open and opendir because, they're both supposed to
return different types, an int and a DIR*. However, in
libglusterfsclient, all other code assumes that directory handles
corresponding to DIR* and file descriptors corresponding to int types
are the same type, resulting in use of the same locking and fd context
addition/extraction code. So a directory opened using opendir returned
a wrapper structure which went down into the libglusterfsclient stack
where some function called a lock on the handle assuming it was an
fd_t, since it is not and dereferencing of the supposed fd->inode->lock
results in a seg fault.

Obviously, this didnt show up till unfs3 used open() to open a
directory and not opendir.
