core: Global timer-wheel

Instantiate a process wide global instance of the timer wheel
data structure. Spawning glusterfs* process with option arg
"--global-timer-wheel" instantiates a global instance of
timer-wheel under global context (->ctx).

Translators can make use of this process wide instance [via a
call to glusterfs_global_timer_wheel()] instead of maintaining
an instance of their own and possibly consuming more memory.
Linux kernel too has a single instance of timer wheel where
subsystems such as IO, networking, etc.. make use of.

Bitrot daemon would be early consumers of this: bitrot translator
instances for multiple volumes would track objects belonging to
their respective bricks in this global expiry tracking data
structure. This is also a first step to move GlusterFS timer
mechanism to use timer-wheel.
