mgtm/core : use sha hash function for volfile check
We are storing the entire volfile and using this to check volfile change. With brick multiplexing there will be lot of graphs per process which will increase the memory foot print of the process. So instead of storing the entire graph we could use sha256 and we can compare the hash to see whether volfile change happened or not. Also with Brick multiplexing, the direct comparison of vol file is not correct. There are two problems. Problem 1: We are currently storing one single graph (the last updated volfile) whereas, what we need is the entire graph with all atttached bricks. If we fix this issue, we have second problem Problem 2: With multiplexing we have a graph that contains multiple bricks. But what we are checking as part of the reconfigure is, comparing the entire graph with one single graph, which will always fail. Solution: We create list in glusterfs_ctx_t that stores sha256 hash of individual brick graphs. When a graph changes happens we compare the stored hash and the current hash. If the hash matches, then no need for reconfigure. Otherwise we first do the reconfigure and then update the hash. For now, gfapi has not changed this way. Meaning when gfapi volfile fetch or reconfigure happens, we still store the entire graph and compare, each memory. This is fine, because libgfapi will not load brick graphs. But changing the libgfapi will make the code similar in both glusterfsd-mgmt and api. Also it helps to reduce some memory.
