Added specs for filesnapshots based on reflinks

Hi,

Regarding existing file snapshot:
--------------------------------
Currently we have qemu-block xlator which helps in creating a file based snapshots,
the biggest limitation about this feature is that, it allows creation of snapshots
only for qcow2 file types (QEMU specific).

what about other VM image formats (say VMDK, VDI ...)?
what about general file formats (txt, docx, md ... another 10000)?


Improvement:
------------
Suggested a feature that allows you to take a snapshot on any kind of file with the
help of reflinks. 

Here is the link to specs page (which also has a POC);
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs-specs/compare/master...pkalever:master

I need all of your blessings to move this into action.

Thanks,
