2015-08-21New option: Use extended attributes to store db values.Peter Seebach
This is a moderately experimental feature which stores values in an extended attribute called 'user.pseudo_data' instead of in the database. Still missing: Database<->filesystem synchronization for this. For at least some workloads, this can dramatically improve performance. Signed-off-by: Peter Seebach <peter.seebach@windriver.com>

This is a spiffied-up rebase of a bunch of intermediate changes, presented as a whole because it is, surprisingly, less confusing that way. The basic idea is to separate the guts code into categories ranging from generic stuff that can be the same everywhere and specific variants. The big scary one is the Darwin support, which actually seems to run okay on 64-bit OS X 10.6. (No other variants were tested.) The other example given is support for the old clone() syscall on RHEL 4, which affects some wrlinux use cases. There's a few minor cleanup bits here, such as a function with inconsistent calling conventions, but nothing really exciting.
