Refactoring global handler: * The global handler now works on a pointer to a global_handle struct, which is stored in a linked list * The struct contains aging, last block, global name/path, usage count, and fast path information * set_sym and get_sym work, both on existing and new globals * There are discrete APIs for opening, locking, unlocking, and closing globals To come: * Look into fast path optimization usage in global_bltin() (the gotos are mostly gone due to early-stage refactoring) * Add discrete APIs for reading and writing blocks * Add global file header (to contain magic value, block length, format version, host triplet, backup info, journal info, etc.) * Make BLOCKLEN variable and store in overall file header and global_handle struct |

This descriptor caching is working much better than what existed previously, and now applies for all globals ever opened within a process. |
