core: run many bricks within one glusterfsd process

This patch adds support for multiple brick translator stacks running in
a single brick server process.  This reduces our per-brick memory usage
by approximately 3x, and our appetite for TCP ports even more.  It also
creates potential to avoid process/thread thrashing, and to improve QoS
by scheduling more carefully across the bricks, but realizing that
potential will require further work.

Multiplexing is controlled by the "cluster.brick-multiplex" global
option.  By default it's off, and bricks are started in separate
processes as before.  If multiplexing is enabled, then *compatible*
bricks (mostly those with the same transport options) will be started in
the same process.

+# Since changing this, I usually see at least a few retries, and sometimes more

+# 'stat' on $M0 being done here for every retry, there's no longer any need to
+# have them elsewhere.
+#
+# If we had EW_RETRIES support (https://review.gluster.org/#/c/16451/) we could

+# I've cleaned this up as much as I can - making sure the gdstates directory

+# first get-state request that hits the server (i.e. doesn't bail out with a
+# parse error first) succeeds, but any others time out.  They don't even get as
+# far as the glusterd log message that says we received a get-state request.
+# There doesn't seem to be a core file, so glusterd doesn't seem to have

+# just about the worst environment ever for debugging anything.
