tools/setgfid2path: Tool to set GFID to Path xattr in brick backend

Once storage/gfid2path feature is enabled using `gluster volume set
<volname> storage.gfid2path enable`, it starts recording the gfid2path
xattr on each files. But this feature will not add xattr to the existing
files.

This tool accepts the file path as argument and sets the necessary xattr
required for this feature.
