Add optional LD_PRELOAD library

[adammoody]

Defines a new libunifyfs_preload_gotcha.so library to intercept file system calls from shell commands.

To build this library, add the --enable-preload configure option.

To use this library at runtime, the UnifyFS server should be started as normal. Then in the client, set LD_PRELOAD to point to the library install location. For example, a bash user can set:

export LD_PRELOAD=<unifyfs_install>/lib/libunifyfs_preload_gotcha.so

One may then run shell commands to interact with UnifyFS files, e.g.,:

touch /unifyfs/file1
cp -pr /unifyfs/file1 /unifyfs/file2
ls -l /unifyfs/file1
stat /unifyfs/file1
rm /unifyfs/file1

Due to the variety and variation of I/O functions that may be called by different commands, there is no guarantee that a given invocation is supported under UnifyFS semantics. This feature is experimental, and it should be used at your own risk.
