Remove the deprecated glusterfs block driver

Browse Source 
Glusterfs has been marked as deprecated since QEMU v9.2, and as far
as I know, nobody spoke up 'til today that it should be kept.
The listed e-mail address integration@gluster.org in our MAINTAINERS
file seems to be bouncing nowadays, and looking at their website
https://www.gluster.org/ the most recent news are from 2020 / 2021 ...
so it seems like there is really hardly any interest in Glusterfs
anymore. Thus it's time to remove the code now from QEMU.

``GlusterFS``
GlusterFS is a user space distributed file system. QEMU supports the
use of GlusterFS volumes for hosting VM disk images using TCP and Unix
Domain Sockets transport protocols.
Syntax for specifying a VM disk image on GlusterFS volume is
.. parsed-literal::
URI:
gluster[+type]://[host[:port]]/volume/path[?socket=...][,debug=N][,logfile=...]

GlusterFS disk images
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GlusterFS is a user space distributed file system.
You can boot from the GlusterFS disk image with the command:
URI:
.. parsed-literal::
|qemu_system| -drive file=gluster[+TYPE]://[HOST}[:PORT]]/VOLUME/PATH
[?socket=...][,file.debug=9][,file.logfile=...]
JSON:
.. parsed-literal::
|qemu_system| 'json:{"driver":"qcow2",
"file":{"driver":"gluster",
"volume":"testvol","path":"a.img","debug":9,"logfile":"...",
"server":[{"type":"tcp","host":"...","port":"..."},
{"type":"unix","socket":"..."}]}}'
*gluster* is the protocol.
*TYPE* specifies the transport type used to connect to gluster
management daemon (glusterd). Valid transport types are
tcp and unix. In the URI form, if a transport type isn't specified,
then tcp type is assumed.
*HOST* specifies the server where the volume file specification for
the given volume resides. This can be either a hostname or an ipv4 address.
If transport type is unix, then *HOST* field should not be specified.
Instead *socket* field needs to be populated with the path to unix domain
socket.
*PORT* is the port number on which glusterd is listening. This is optional
and if not specified, it defaults to port 24007. If the transport type is unix,
then *PORT* should not be specified.
*VOLUME* is the name of the gluster volume which contains the disk image.
*PATH* is the path to the actual disk image that resides on gluster volume.
*debug* is the logging level of the gluster protocol driver. Debug levels
are 0-9, with 9 being the most verbose, and 0 representing no debugging output.
The default level is 4. The current logging levels defined in the gluster source
are 0 - None, 1 - Emergency, 2 - Alert, 3 - Critical, 4 - Error, 5 - Warning,
6 - Notice, 7 - Info, 8 - Debug, 9 - Trace
*logfile* is a commandline option to mention log file path which helps in
logging to the specified file and also help in persisting the gfapi logs. The
default is stderr.
You can create a GlusterFS disk image with the command:
.. parsed-literal::
qemu-img create gluster://HOST/VOLUME/PATH SIZE
Examples
.. parsed-literal::
|qemu_system| -drive file=gluster://1.2.3.4/testvol/a.img
|qemu_system| -drive file=gluster+tcp://1.2.3.4/testvol/a.img
