features/shard: Introducing sharding translator

Based on the high-level design by Anand V. Avati which can be found @
https://gist.github.com/avati/af04f1030dcf52e16535#sharding-xlator-stripe-20

Still to-do:
        * complete implementation of inode write fops - [f]truncate,
          zerofill, fallocate, discard
        * introduce transaction mechanism in inode write fops
        * complete readv
        * Handle open with O_TRUNC
        * Handle unlinking of all shards during unlink/rename
        * Compute total ia_size and ia_blocks in lookup, readdirp, etc
        * wind fsync/flush on all shards

        Note: Most of the items above are related. Once we come up
        with a clean way to determine the last shard/shard count for
        a file/file size and the mgmt of sparse regions of the file,
        implementing them becomes trivial.
