This patch changes "subvol set-default" to also accept the subvolume path
for convenience.
If there are two args, they are assumed as subvol id and path to the fs
(the same as current behavior), and if there is only one arg, it is assumed
as the path to the subvolume.
subvol id is resolved by test_issubvolume() + lookup_path_rootid().
The empty subvol (ino == 2) will get error on test_issubvolume() which
checks whether inode num is 256 or not.

Start documenting the ioctl interface to btrfs. The overall structure
should be settled, the formatting of the ioctl description may change in
the future, newly added ioctl descriptions should follow the examples of
BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_CREATE.
The document is not finished yet and will not be installed until most of
ioctls' details are filled in.

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.

Sometimes it's needed to do a check on a mounted filesystem. This should
work fine on a quiescent filesystem or a read-only mount. Changes on the
block device done by kernel might confuse the userspace checker and it
might crash when it reads some stale data.
Repair without mount checks is not supported right now.

While talking to another btrfs user on IRC today, it became clear that a
major point of confusion in the btrfs send manual is that it's not
telling the user soon enough that send/receive solely operates on
subvolume snapshots instead of the original (read/write) subvolumes.
So, change the first few lines to explicitly mention snapshots instead.
Technically, snapshots are also just subvolumes, but requiring this
level of technical detailed knowledge doesn't help the user who is just
trying out things.

The 'qgroup show' command does not synchronize filesystem.

A user reported on IRC that the new 32M default for target extent size
does not work. This happens because if there are no commandline options,
the v1 ioctl is used that does not do any fine grained defrag. As the v2
ioctl has been introduced 6 years ago (2010, kernel 2.6.33) we won't
keep backward compatibility anymore.

Currently, `btrfs device stats` returns non-zero only when there was an
error getting the counter values. This is fine for when it gets run by a
user directly, but is a serious pain when trying to use it in a script or
for monitoring since you need to parse the (not at all machine friendly)
output to check the counter values.
This patch adds an option ('-s') which causes `btrfs device stats`
to set bit 6 in the return code if any of the counters are non-zero.
This greatly simplifies checking from a script or monitoring software if
any errors have been recorded. In the event that this switch is passed
and an error occurs reading the stats, the return code will have bit
0 set (so if there are errors reading counters, and the counters which
were read were non-zero, the return value will be 65).

Some tools (check, select-super, dump-super) can use the alternate
superblocks, but the options are not consistent. To make it less
confusing, change the meaning of option -s in 'dump-super' to specify

would be the same, no breakage in existing scripts.

Introduce a new fsck mode: low memory mode.
Old btrfsck is working efficiently but uses some memory for each extent
item. This method will ensure extents are only iterated once at
extent/chunk tree check process.
But since it uses some memory for each extent item, for a large fs with
several TB metadata, this can easily eat up memory and cause OOM.
To handle such limitation and improve scalability, the new low-memory
mode will not use any heap memory to record which extent is checked.
Instead it will use extent backref to avoid most of uneeded checks on
shared fs/subvolume tree blocks.
And with the use forward and backward reference cross check, we can also
ensure every tree block is at least checked once.

Currently, balance operations are run synchronously in the foreground.
This is nice for interactive management, but is kind of crappy when you
start looking at automation and similar things.
This patch adds an option to `btrfs balance start` to tell it to
daemonize prior to running the balance operation, thus allowing us to
preform balances asynchronously. The two biggest use cases I have for
this are starting a balance on a remote server without establishing a
full shell session, and being able to background the balance in a
recovery shell (which usually has no job control) so I can still get
progress information.
Because it simply daemonizes prior to calling the balance ioctl, this
doesn't actually need any kernel support.

The countdown is done even when run from scripts, but as the whole
balance takes significanly more time, this shouldn't be an issue.
