ec: Add config information in an xattr
To simplify backward compatibility of the ec xlator when some
parameter or the implementation itself is changed, a new xattr
is added to each file with the configuration needed to recover
it.
The new attribute is called 'trusted.ec.config', and it's a 64-bit
value containing the following information:
8 bits: version of the config information (currently always 0)
8 bits: algorithm used to encode the file (currently always 0)
8 bits: size of the galois field (currently always 8)
8 bits: number of bricks
8 bits: redundancy
24 bits: chunk size (currently 512)
This new xattr could allow, in a future version, to have different
configurations per file.
