mount/fuse: Make event-history feature configurable

... and disable it by default.

This is because having it disabled seems to improve performance.
This could be due to the lock contention by the different epoll threads
on the circular buff lock in the fop cbks just before writing their response
to /dev/fuse.

Just to provide some data - wrt ovirt-gluster hyperconverged
environment, I saw an increase in IOPs by 12K with event-history
disabled for randrom read workload.

Usage:
mount -t glusterfs -o event-history=on $HOSTNAME:$VOLNAME $MOUNTPOINT
OR
glusterfs --event-history=on --volfile-server=$HOSTNAME --volfile-id=$VOLNAME $MOUNTPOINT
