This is a translator to improve the performance of typical,
sequential directory reads (i.e., ls). readdir-ahead begins
preloading the contents of a directory on open and serves readdir
requests from the preloaded content. readdir-ahead is currently
implemented to only handle the single threaded directory read
case.

readdir-ahead is currently disabled by default. It can be enabled
with the following command:

	gluster volume set <volname> readdir-ahead on

The following are results of a getdents test on a single brick
volume.

Test info:

- Single VM, gluster client/server.
- Volume mounted with native client using --gid-timeout=2.
- getdents on single directory with 100k 0-byte files.

Test results:

- !readdir-ahead

read 3120080 bytes from offset 0
3 MiB, 4348 ops, 0:00:07.00 (416.590 KiB/sec and 594.4737 ops/sec)

- readdir-ahead

read 3120080 bytes from offset 0
3 MiB, 4348 ops, 0:00:03.00 (820.116 KiB/sec and 1170.3043 ops/sec)
