Actually put gfapi to use, by allowing the creation of a gluster
pool. Right now, all volumes are treated as raw and directories
are skipped; further patches will allow peering into files to
allow for qcow2 files and backing chains, and reporting proper
volume allocation. This implementation was tested against Fedora
19's glusterfs 3.4.1; it might be made simpler by requiring a
higher minimum, and/or require more hacks to work with a lower
minimum.

We support gluster volumes in domain XML, so we also ought to
support them as a storage pool. Besides, a future patch will
want to take advantage of libgfapi to handle the case of a
gluster device holding qcow2 rather than raw storage, and for
that to work, we need a storage backend that can read gluster
storage volume contents. This sets up the framework.
Note that the new pool is named 'gluster' to match a
<disk type='network'><source protocol='gluster'> image source
already supported in a <domain>; it does NOT match the
<pool type='netfs'><source><target type='glusterfs'>,
since that uses a FUSE mount to a local file name rather than
a network name.
This and subsequent patches have been tested against glusterfs
3.4.1 (available on Fedora 19); there are likely bugs in older
versions that may prevent decent use of gfapi, so this patch
enforces the minimum version tested. A future patch may lower
the minimum. On the other hand, I hit at least two bugs in
3.4.1 that will be fixed in 3.5/3.4.2, where it might be worth
raising the minimum: glfs_readdir is nicer to use than
glfs_readdir_r [1], and glfs_fini should only return failure on
an actual failure [2].
