Zach Brown d91dc45368 scoutfs: add interval tree ...

Add an interval tree that lets us efficiently discover intervals that
overlap a given search region.  We're going to need this now to sanely
implementing merging and in the future to implement granting access
ranges.

It's easy to implement an interval tree by using the kernel's augmented
rbtree to track the max end value of the subtree of intervals.  The
tricky bit is that the augmented interface assumes that it can directly
compare the augmented value.

If we were developing against mainline we'd just patch the interface.
But we're developing against distro kernels that development partners
deploy so the kernel is frozen in amber.

We deploy a giant stinky hack to import a private tweaked version of the
interface.  It's isolated so we can trivially drop it once we merge with
the fixed upstream interface.  We also add some build time checks to
make sure that we don't accidentally combine rb structures between the
private import and the main kernel interface.
