POHMELFS configuration extension.

I've committed changes from Varun Chandramohan (varunc_linux.vnet.ibm.com) which extends POHMELFS to support ADD/REMOVE/SHOW configuration groups.

Configuration group is a global object inside pohmelfs core, which contains information about servers to work with and various configuration parameters. When administrator mounts new pohmelfs filesystem, he or she has to setup appropriate configuration group and use its index as mount option parameter. There is special configuration utility for this purpose inside POHMELFS userspace package.

Now it is possible not only to add or remove groups, but also to show them to the administrator.
I've pushed chages into the kernel and userspace GIT trees.
