Btrfs: Add backrefs and forward refs for subvols and snapshots

Browse source 
Subvols and snapshots can now be referenced from any point in the directory
tree.  We need to maintain back refs for them so we can find lost
subvols.

Forward refs are added so that we know all of the subvols and
snapshots referenced anywhere in the directory tree of a single subvol.  This
can be used to do recursive snapshotting (but they aren't yet) and it is
also used to detect and prevent directory loops when creating new snapshots.
