Rather than using virtual host style requests, path style requests can be used
instead.
i.e. rather than bucketname.s3.amazon.com/... the s3fs will be able to request
from s3.amazon.com/bucketname/...
This is useful for S3 compatible APIs which don't support the virtual host style
request.
It is enabled with the new option, `use_path_style_request`.
Example:
/usr/bin/s3fs data ~/netcdf -o url="https://swift.rc.nectar.org.au:8888/" -o use_path_request_style -o allow_other -o uid=500 -o gid=500
* Summay
This revision includes big change about temporary file and local cache file.
By this big change, s3fs works with good performance when s3fs opens/
closes/syncs/reads object.
I made a big change about the handling about temporary file and local cache
file to do this implementation.
* Detail
1) About temporary file(local file)
s3fs uses a temporary file on local file system when s3fs does download/
upload/open/seek object on S3.
After this revision, s3fs calls ftruncate() function when s3fs makes the
temporary file.
In this way s3fs can set a file size of precisely length without downloading.
(Notice - ftruncate function is for XSI-compliant systems, so that possibly
you have a problem on non-XSI-compliant systems.)
By this change, s3fs can download a part of a object by requesting with
"Range" http header. It seems like downloading by each block unit.
The default block(part) size is 50MB, it is caused the result which is default
parallel requests count(5) by default multipart upload size(10MB).
If you need to change this block size, you can change by new option
"fd_page_size". This option can take from 1MB(1024 * 1024) to any bytes.
So that, you have to take care about that fdcache.cpp(and fdcache.h) were
changed a lot.
2) About local cache
Local cache files which are in directory specified by "use_cache" option do
not have always all of object data.
This cause is that s3fs uses ftruncate function and reads(writes) each block
unit of a temporary file.
s3fs manages each block unit's status which are "downloaded area" or "not".
For this status, s3fs makes new temporary file in cache directory which is
specified by "use_cache" option. This status files is in a directory which is
named "<use_cache sirectory>/.<bucket_name>/".
When s3fs opens this status file, s3fs locks this file for exclusive control by
calling flock function. You need to take care about this, the status files can
not be laid on network drive(like NFS).
This revision changes about file open mode, s3fs always opens a local cache
file and each status file with writable mode.
Last, this revision adds new option "del_cache", this option means that s3fs
deletes all local cache file when s3fs starts and exits.
3) Uploading
When s3fs writes data to file descriptor through FUSE request, old s3fs
revision downloads all of the object. But new revision does not download all,
it downloads only small percial area(some block units) including writing data
area.
And when s3fs closes or flushes the file descriptor, s3fs downloads other area
which is not downloaded from server. After that, s3fs uploads all of data.
Already r456 revision has parallel upload function, then this revision with
r456 and r457 are very big change for performance.
4) Downloading
By changing a temporary file and a local cache file, when s3fs downloads a
object, it downloads only the required range(some block units).
And s3fs downloads units by parallel GET request, it is same as a case of
uploading. (Maximum parallel request count and each download size are
specified same parameters for uploading.)
In the new revision, when s3fs opens file, s3fs returns file descriptor soon.
Because s3fs only opens(makes) the file descriptor with no downloading
data. And when s3fs reads a data, s3fs downloads only some block unit
including specified area.
This result is good for performance.
5) Changes option name
The option "parallel_upload" which added at r456 is changed to new option
name as "parallel_count". This reason is this option value is not only used by
uploading object, but a uploading object also uses this option. (For a while,
you can use old option name "parallel_upload" for compatibility.)

1) Adds new S3fsCurl class
Added new S3fsCurl class instead of directly calling curl function.
This class is lapping curl function for s3fs(AWS S3 API).
2) Changes codes about adding S3fsCurl class
Changed and deleted classes and structures which are related to curl in curl.cpp/curl.h.
Changed codes which are calling S3 API with curl in s3fs.cpp.
3) Deletes YKIES macro
Deleted YIKES macro, because this macro is used no more.
4) Changes a code
s3fs does not get good performance because s3fs copies each byte while downloading.
So that the codes is changed instead of memcpy, then s3fs performance not a little improves.
5) Fixes a bug
When s3fs renames a file, s3fs does not use the value which is specified by servicepath option.
Fixed this bug.

==========================
List of Changes
==========================
1) Fixes bugs
Fixes Issue 321: "no write permission for non-root user".
(http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/issues/detail?id=321)
Fixes a bug which s3fs does not set uid/gid headers when making symlink.
2) Cleanup code.
Adds a common function which converts the Last-Modified header to utime.
Deletes the useless cord and arranged it.
3) xmlns
Changes that s3fs can decide using the xmlns url automatically.
Then the noxmlns option is not needed anymore, but it is left.
4) Changes cache for performance
Changes stat cache, it accumulates stat information and some headers.
By adding some headers into cache, s3fs does not need to call curl_get_headers function.
After changing, one cache entry increases in about 500 bytes from about 144 byte.
Adds one condition to get out of the cache, that condition is by looking object's ETag.
It works good for noticing changes about obojects.

No changes for logic, only changes layout of functions and valiables between a file to a file.
Adds s3fs_util.cpp/s3fs_util.h/common.h
