Support for multiple BeesContext objects sharing a FdCache was wasting
significant space and atomic inc/dec memory cycles for no good reason
since the shared-FdCache feature was deprecated.
open_root and open_root_ino still need a BeesContext to work. Pass the
BeesContext pointer through the function object instead of the cache
key arguments.

pthread_cancel doesn't really work properly. It was only being used in
bees to bring threads to a stop if the BeesContext is destroyed early.
It is frequently implicated in core dump reports because of the fragility
of the C++ iostream / C stdio / library infrastructure, particularly
surrounding upgrades on the host running bees. The pthread_cancel call
itself often simply fails even when it doesn't call terminate().
Defer creation of the status and progress threads until after the
BeesContext::start method is invoked. At that point, the existing
ask-threads-nicely-to-stop code is up and running, and normal condvars
can be used to bring bees to a stop, without having to resort to
pthread_cancel.
Since we're deleting half of the BeesContext constructor in this change,
let's remove the other half too, and put an end to the deprecated support
for multiple BeesContexts sharing a process. It's still possible to run
multiple BeesContexts, but they will not share a FD cache. This will
allow the FD cache's keys to become smaller and hopefully save some
memory later on.

C99's "{ 0 }" notation for filling in a struct with all zeros was not
included in the C++11 standard, so gcc doesn't implement it and neither
does clang.
gcc does (did?) have issues with warnings on the same code in C99,
complaining about uninitialized struct members when "{0}" explicitly
initializes every member to a zero value. These issues don't apply in
the C++ code where NTOA_TABLE_ENTRY_END is used.

The weird things distros do to the path where uuid.h gets installed

The Linux kernel's btrfs headers are better than the libbtrfs-dev headers:
- the libbtrfs-dev headers have C++ language compatibility issues
- upstream version in Linux kernel is more accurate and up to date
- macros in libbtrfs-dev's ctree.h hide information that would
enable bees to perform runtime buffer length checking
- enum types whose presence cannot be detected with #ifdef
When accessing members of metadata items from the filesystem, we want
to verify that the member we are accessing is within the boundaries of
the item that was retrieved; otherwise, a memory access violation may
occur or garbage may be returned to the caller. A simple C++ template,
given a pointer to a structure member and a buffer, can determine that
the buffer contains enough bytes to safely access a struct member.
This was implemented back in 2016, but left unused due to ctree.h issues.
Some btrfs metadata structures have variable length despite using a
fixed-size in-memory structure. The members that appear earliest in
the structure contain information about which following members of the
structure are used. The item stored in the filesystem is truncated after
the last used member, and all following members must not be accessed.
'btrfs_stack_*' accessor macros obscure the memory boundaries of the
members they access, which makes it impossible for a C++ template to
verify the memory access. If the template checks the length of the
entire structure, it will find an access violation for variable-length
metadata items because the item is rarely large enough for the entire
structure.
Get rid of all the libbtrfs-dev accessor macros and reimplement them
with the necessary buffer length checks.

Define a local copy of the header that has fields for the csum type
and length, so we can build in places that haven't caught up to kernel

The reason why the csum type and length are not unconditionally filled
in eludes me. csum_length is necessarily non-zero, and the cost of
the conditional is worse than the cost of the copy, so the whole flags
dance is a WTF...but it's part of the kernel API now, so it's too late
to NAK it.

Get rid of the thread-local TempFiles and use Pool instead. This
eliminates a potential FD leak when the loadavg governor repeatedly
creates and destroys threads.
With the old per-thread TempFiles, we were guaranteed to have exclusive
ownership of the TempFile object within the current thread. Pool is
somewhat stricter: it only guarantees ownership while the checked-out
Handle exists. Adjust the users of TempFile objects to ensure they hold
the Handle object until they are finished using the TempFile.
It appears that maintaining large, heavily-reflinked, long-lived temporary
files costs more than truncating after every use: btrfs has to write
multiple references to the temporary file's extents, then some commits
later, remove references as the temporary file is deleted or truncated.
Using the temporary file in a dedupe operation flushes the data to disk,
so nothing is saved by pretending that there is writeback pipelining and
trying to avoid flushes in truncate. Pool provides usage tracking and
a checkin callback, so use it to truncate the temporary file immediately
after every use.
Redesign TempFile so that every instance creates exactly one Fd which
persists over the lifetime of the TempFile object. Provide a reset()
method which resets the file back to the initial state and call it from
the Pool checkin callback. This makes TempFile's lifetime equivalent to
its Fd's lifetime, which simplifies interactions with FdCache and Roots.
This change means we can now blacklist temporary files without having
an effective memory leak, so do that. We also have a reason to ever
remove something from the blacklist, so add a method for that too.
In order to move to extent-centric addressing, we need to be able to
reliably open temporary files by root and inode number. Previously we
would place TempFile fd's into the cache with insert_root_ino, but the
cache would be cleared periodically, and it would not be possible to
reopen temporary files after that happened. Now that the TempFile's
lifetime is the same as the TempFile Fd's lifetime, we can have TempFile
manage a separate FileId -> Fd map in Roots which is unaffected by the
periodic cache clearing. BeesRoots::open_root_ino_nocache will check
this map before attempting to open the file via btrfs root+ino lookup,
and return it through the cache as if Roots had opened the file via btrfs.
Hold a reference to BeesRoots in BeesTempFile because the usual way
to get such a reference now throws an exception in BeesTempFile's
destructor.
These changes make method BeesTempFile::create() and all methods named
insert_root_ino unnecessary, so delete them.
We construct and destroy TempFiles much less often now, so make their
constructor and destructor more informative.

Pool is a place to store shared_ptrs to generated objects (T) that are
too expensive to create and destroy between individual uses, such as
temporary files. Objects in a Pool have no distinct identity
(contrast with Cache or NamedPtr).
Users of the Pool invoke the Pool function call overload and "check out"
a shared_ptr<T> for a T object from the Pool. When the last referencing
shared_otr<T> is destroyed, the T object is "checked in" to the Pool.
Each call of the Pool function overload checks out a shared_ptr<T> to a T
object that is not currently referenced by any other public shared_ptr<T>.
If there are no existing T objects in the Pool, a new T is constructed
by calling the generator function.
The clear() method destroys all checked in T objects owned by the Pool
at the time the method is called. T objects that are checked out are
not affected by clear(), and they will be stored in the Pool when they
are checked in.
If the checkout function is provided, it is called on a shared_ptr<T>
during checkout, before returning to the caller.
If the checkin function is provided, it is called on a shared_ptr<T>
before returning it to the Pool. The checkin function must not throw
exceptions.
The Pool may be destroyed while T objects are checked out of the Pool.
In that case, when the T objects are checked in, the T object is
immediately destroyed without calling the checkin function.

Number of items should be low enough that we don't have too many stale
items, but high enough to amortize system call overhead to a reasonable
ratio.
Number of bytes should be constant: one worst-case metadata page (the
btrfs limit is 64K, though 16K is much more common) so that we always
have enough space for one worst-case item; otherwise, we get EOVERFLOW
if we set the number of items too low and there's a big item in the tree,
