Initial work on a Btrfs hook (#251).

Owner

This is currently beta-quality work for snapshotting Btrfs subvolumes (#251) from borgmatic such that they end up in a Borg archive at the original subvolume path rather than the snapshot path. That means that if your subvolume is mounted at, say, /my/subvolume, then the snapshotted data shows up in the Borg archive at my/subvolume and not my/subvlume/some-snapshot-directory.

Subvolume discovery currently works by expecting that any subvolumes to backup are listed in borgmatic's source_directories by their paths.

Result

I have run this and it appears to work so far. Here are some logs:

# findmnt -t btrfs
TARGET SOURCE     FSTYPE OPTIONS
/mnt   /dev/loop0 btrfs  rw,relatime,ssd,space_cache=v2,subvolid=5,subvol=/

Still to do

do an organizational pass on the code
documentation
get existing unit tests passing again
add tests to cover new/changed code
audit branch diff for missing test coverage
additional error handling
lots more manual testing
