fsstress: add operation for setting xattrs on files and directories
Currently fsstress does not exercise creating, reading or deleting xattrs
on files or directories. This change adds support for setting xattrs on
files and directories, using only the xattr user namespace (the other
namespaces are not general purpose and are used for security, capabilities,
ACLs, etc). This adds a counter for each file entry structure that keeps
track of the number of xattrs set for the file entry, and each new xattr
has a name that includes the counter's value (example: "user.x4").
Values for the xattrs have at most 100 bytes, which is more than the
maximum size supported for all major filesystems.
