Patch to rsync to support GPFS attributes

IBM's General Parallel File System (GPFS) offers ACL support. However, rsync
does not copy the ACLs when copying files between GPFS filesystems. 

Ronnie Sahlberg released an initial patch to get this working back in 2008:

  http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2008-October/021963.html

which I re-jiggled a bit to get building against the rsync 3.0.9 release
tarball. I've attached that here.

To build: 
  - obtained rsync tarball from: 
     http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/src/rsync-3.0.9.tar.gz
  - Prerequisite is, at least, libacl development headers - in Ubuntu 12.04,
this can be obtained with (for example):
     sudo apt-get install libacl1-dev 
  - Once you've applied the patch with, say: 
     patch patch -p1 -i ../gpfs_support_rsync-3.0.9.patch
    configure rsync with:
     ./configure --enable-acl-support --enable-xattr-support
--enable-gpfs-support --prefix=/opt/rsync.gpfs
    then do:
     make
    and, optionally,:
     make install
  - to use the gpfs extensions, add the rsync command option:
    --gpfs-attrs
  - there's also --gpfs-cache-attr

 - So, step by step (this is from an Ubuntu 12.04 box), to build this do:
# sudo apt-get install libacl1-dev
# mkdir -p src/rsync
# cd src/rsync
# wget http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/src/rsync-3.0.9.tar.gz
### Get the gpfs_support_rsync-3.0.9.patch file and put it in this folder
(src/rsync)
# tar -zxf rsync-3.0.9.tar.gz
# cd rsync-3.0.9
# patch -p1 -i ../gpfs_support_rsync-3.0.9.patch
# ./configure --enable-acl-support --enable-xattr-support --enable-gpfs-support
--prefix=/opt/rsync.gpfs
# make 
# make install

 - To check that the binary has gpfs support, check that the "gpfs" capability
is present in:
# /opt/rsync.gpfs/bin/rsync --version
