3bcf210a5a rpm: add thin-arbiter package
Discussion on thin arbiter volume -
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/352#issuecomment-350981148

Main idea of having this rpm package is to deploy thin-arbiter
without glusterd and other commands on a node, and all we need
on that tie-breaker node is to run a single glusterfs command.
Also note that, no other glusterfs installation needs
thin-arbiter.so.

Make sure RPM contains sample vol file, which can work by default,
and a script to configure that volfile, along with translator image.

19436f2e5f thin arbiter: set notify-contention option to yes
If this option is "ON' and if there is a lock contention for
a file from 2 clients/self-heal daemon, an up call will
be sent to all the clients holding that locks. Clients
can handle this notification and may release the locks
at the right time asap.

If this option is ON, we get "instant" lock contention
notification on client side.

In next version of thin arbiter,  we need to implement
lock contention notification handling and two domain
locking to synchronize update/access of xattrs of thin arbiter
replica id file. This option is an efficient way to find
out lock contention. In this case it is also helping to
implement two domain locking for replica id file.

95e735b71b thin-arbiter : Provide scripts and service file to start thin-arbiter process
1 - setup-thin-arbiter.sh
To setup directory path for thin-arbiter. This is the path where replica id
file will be placed and used by TA process.
By default it will be /mnt/thin-arbiter. It is better to use default path
and once set it should not be changed.

2 - gluster-ta-volume.service
This is the Unit file used by systemd to start and keep the thin-arbiter
process running.

3 - thin-arbiter.vol
This is the default volume file for thin-arbiter. It will be used to start
thin-arbiter process. This should not be modified by user except the
directory path which can be modified using [1].
