[XFS] add helpers for addressing entities inside a btree block
Add new helpers in xfs_btree.c to find the record, key and block pointer entries inside a btree block. To implement this genericly the ->get_maxrecs methods and two new xfs_btree_ops entries for the key and record sizes are used. Also add a big comment describing how the addressing inside a btree block works. Note that these helpers are unused until users are introduced in the next patches and this patch will thus cause some harmless compiler warnings.
