changes since v5:
- patch 1: update distribution license
- patch 3: rebase to the latest -dev branch

changes since v4:
- patch 3: the feature is refactored and implemented in a more cohesive
  way, that is, the hashbit is calculated in erofs_export_xattr_ibody().
  For xattr_item in the long xattr name prefix style, reconstruct the
  full xattr name first, then derive the corresponding predefined short
  name prefix and finally calculate the hashbit.

changes since v3:
- patch 3: "-Exattr-name-filter" option rather than "--xattr-filter"
  option is newly introduced to enable this feature (Gao Xiang)

changes since v2:
- patch 2: introduce xattr_filter_reserved in on-disk superblock;
  remove EROFS_XATTR_FILTER_MASK
- patch 3: xattr_filter_reserved is always initialized to 0 by default


changes since RFC:
- the number of hash functions is 1, and now it's implemented as:
    xxh32(name, strlen(name), EROFS_XATTR_FILTER_SEED + index),
  where the constant magic number EROFS_XATTR_FILTER_SEED [*] is used to
  give a better spread for the mapping. (Alexander Larsson)
- fix the value of EROFS_FEATURE_COMPAT_XATTR_FILTER; rename
  EROFS_XATTR_BLOOM_* to EROFS_XATTR_FILTER_* (Gao Xiang)

The xattr bloom filter feature is used to boost the negative xattr
lookup.
