NSR : nsr server code generation patch

The NSR-server with this patch, appoints the first node
on every replica subvolume, as the leader for that subvolume.
On receiving a 'write' fop, the leader first checks if there is
quorum in the replica subvolume to proceeed. In case there isn't
it fails with EROFS.

If there is quorum, the leader forwards the fop to the
followers. The followers on receiving the fop, perform the
operation, and based on the success or failure of the outcome
send a +ve or a -ve ack to the leader.

The leader after receiving acks from the followers performs a
quorum check of the acks, to see if it should even try to perform
the fop. If quorum is not being met, and the leader's outcome
wouldn't affect quorum, then it would send -ve ack to the client
without even performing the fop. If quorum is being met, the leader
will then try the fop on itself, and based on it's outcome perform
a quorum check of all the acks received (this time, including it's
own). Based on the result of the quorum check (irrespective of the
outcome on the leader), a +ve or -ve ack is send back to the client.
