Changes since last update:
- Add a section explaining the differences between directories and
extended attributes, and how that affects their usage of dabtrees.
xfsdocs: capture some information about dirs vs. attrs and how they use dabtrees
Dave and I had a short discussion about whether or not xattr trees
needed to have the same free space tracking that directories have, and
a comparison of how each of the two metadata types interact with
dabtrees resulted. I've reworked this a bit to make it flow better as a
book chapter, so here we go.
