v3:
 - fix a gcc warning when nfs isn't enabled

v2:
 Address Hithoshi's comment
 - add NFS macro to sheep/ops.c
 - add -lrt
 - move sd_inode_stat into lib/sd_inode.c

This patch set mainly introduce NFS server building blocks, that is

- NFS v3 transport by glibc's SUNRPC
- preliminary NFS server

NFS protocol is seen as the most established shared storage protocol to provide
POSIX file semantics and has rich client and server features. It was introduced
to partition the UNIX file system into two parts, client that deals with APP and
server side that deals with disks. NFS has a tremendous success both in system
design (where Linux VFS root from, allowing different backend implementation
such as ext4, xfs, btrfs, FUSE, etc.) and in business market. It is well received
by uesrs, so there is no reason we don't start from NFS for a POSIX file
abstraction (tree structure, rich system calls, ACL, etc)

I choose hyper volume as the base for NFS sever like our HTTP storage system.

For now, this patch set limit

- file size to 4M, hence directory is also 4M at most
- inode take up the whole sd object (4M)
- no file deletion and directory deletion support due to lack of dentry management
- no link, symlink, rename support
- no ACL
- no nanosecond support

But we now support traditional UNIX file system structure and it is a working
grund to play with. It even in this early stage support bash command like 'echo,
cat, mkdir, touch, df ...'.

Usage:
 # on host
 $ ./configure --enable-nfs
 # work around auth error for mount
 $ echo 'OPTIONS="-w -i"' | sudo tee /etc/default/rpcbind
 $ sudo service portmap restart
 $ dog nfs create test # create a NFS v3 server (listen on nfsd and mountd port)

--------------------------------------------------------------------
 # on client
 # now on any client machine, make sure you install nfs-common at first
 $ sudo mount o tcp,nfsvers=3 -t nfs server_ip:test /mnt

TODO:
 - finish stubs
 - add stat sub-command to 'dog nfs'
 - add extent to file allocation
 - add btree or hash based kv store to manage dentries
 - implement a multi-threaded SUNRPC to take place of poor performance glibc RPC
 - implement NFS v4
