This commit adds an ebuild for Gentoo. Version 9999 is building live
from current git, currently using kakra:integration because it has some
installation and build fixes important for Gentoo.

If using `scripts/beesd`, we need `blkid` which is part of util-linux.
It should be available on every distribution but let's document it
anyway.

Read-only snapshots have always just worked. Remove them from the
"untested" list.
nodatasum (and therefore nodatacow) inodes are simply ignored. This seems
like the right thing to do since deduping a nodatacow extent turns it
into a datacow extent, which seems contrary to administrator wishes
implied by the nodatacow bit. We probably need an option to
override that assumption.
Clarify why converted ext[234] filesystems may cause problems and
the nature of those problems.
Assorted minor editorial changes.
Discuss calculation of the balance limit parameter when ensuring
sufficient metadata space.
Update kernel version bug/fix/feature lists, including LOGICAL_INO_V2.
Annotate kernel workaround list with known kernel versions that make
the workarounds necessary.
Remove reference to 'DEFRAG_RANGE' as bees requires much more control
over data placement than this interface can offer. It's easy enough to
create a new ioctl to implement bees requirements once it's known what
those requirements are.

"agent" is a nice generic term for the set of things that userspace
btrfs deduplicators are. Let's call it that.
Throw out the awkward and rambling "About" text and use the announcement
from linux-btrfs instead. Terrible English writing I at am.
