Btrfs: introduce subvol uuids and times
This patch introduces uuids for subvolumes. Each subvolume has it's own uuid. In case it was snapshotted, it also contains parent_uuid. In case it was received, it also contains received_uuid. It also introduces subvolume ctime/otime/stime/rtime. The first two are comparable to the times found in inodes. otime is the origin/creation time and ctime is the change time. stime/rtime are only valid on received subvolumes. stime is the time of the subvolume when it was sent. rtime is the time of the subvolume when it was received. Additionally to the times, we have a transid for each time. They are updated at the same place as the times. btrfs receive uses stransid and rtransid to find out if a received subvolume changed in the meantime. If an older kernel mounts a filesystem with the extented fields, all fields become invalid. The next mount with a new kernel will detect this and reset the fields.
