The build system mentioned in the previous commit builds libraries in
both PIC and non-PIC mode. Shared libraries don't work in PIC mode, so
it expects a --disable-shared configure option, which most open source
libraries using autoconf have. Let's add it, too.

We have a build system internally which only needs to build and install
the libraries out of a repository, not any binaries. There's no easy way
to do this in btrfs-progs currently. Add --disable-programs to
./configure to support this.

GCC releases prior to 4.5.0 don't support -std=gnu90 so btrfs-progs won't
build at all on older distros. We can detect whether the compiler
supports -std=gnu90 and fall back to -std=gnu89 if it doesn't.
AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG is the right way to do this, but it depends on
autoconf 2.64. AX_GCC_VERSION has been deprecated, so we'll use that
only for earlier autoconf versions so we can drop it when we drop
support for older autoconf releases.

The C libbtrfsutil library isn't very useful for scripting, so we also
want bindings for Python. Writing unit tests in Python is also much
easier than doing so in C. Only Python 3 is supported; if someone really
wants Python 2 support, they can write their own bindings. This commit
is just the scaffolding.

Currently, users wishing to manage Btrfs filesystems programatically
have to shell out to btrfs-progs and parse the output. This isn't ideal.
The goal of libbtrfsutil is to provide a library version of as many of
the operations of btrfs-progs as possible and to migrate btrfs-progs to
use it.
Rather than simply refactoring the existing btrfs-progs code, the code
has to be written from scratch for a couple of reasons:
* A lot of the btrfs-progs code was not designed with a nice library API
in mind in terms of reusability, naming, and error reporting.
* libbtrfsutil is licensed under the LGPL, whereas btrfs-progs is under
the GPL, which makes it dubious to directly copy or move the code.
Eventually, most of the low-level btrfs-progs code should either live in
libbtrfsutil or the shared kernel/userspace filesystem code, and
btrfs-progs will just be the CLI wrapper.
This first commit just includes the build system changes, license,
README, and error reporting helper.

Adds zstd support to the btrfs program. An optional dependency on libzstd
>= 1.0.0 is added. Autoconf accepts `--enable-zstd' or `--disable-zstd' and
defaults to detecting if libzstd is present using `pkg-config'.
The patch is also available in my fork of btrfs-progs [1], which passes
Travis-CI with the new tests. The prebuilt binary is available there.
I haven't updated Android.mk.

This patch adds support to convert reiserfs file systems in-place to btrfs.
It will convert extended attribute files to btrfs extended attributes,
translate ACLs, coalesce tails that consist of multiple items into one item,
and convert tails that are too big into indirect files.
This requires that libreiserfscore 3.6.27 be available.

It's not really necessary to configure and regenerate Makefiles in cases
like adding a new source file. The build environment and optional
features are not affected by that.
