Introduce send-dump.[ch] which implements a new btrfs_send_ops to
exam and output all operations inside a send stream.

It has a better output format than the old and no longer compilable
send-test tool, but still tries to be script friendly.

Provides the basis for later "inspect-internal dump-send" command.

I'd rather put that into the receive subcommand, as it takes the stream
as argument and it's closer to the send/receive commands, but that's
a minor thing.

I'm OK to put it into receive command.

Although unlike normal receive usage, it doesn't need the <path> 
parameter, and make <path> to be optional.

That's a good point and would make the syntax work in two modes, but we
do that in ohter commands and I hope it will not be confusing. Exmaples:

Normal receive:

 btrfs receive -f file /mount

Dump the stream:

 btrs receive --dump -f file
