54b8edc07c member: implement vBF mode
Bloom Filter (BF) [1] is a well-known space-efficient
probabilistic data structure that answers set membership queries.
Vector of Bloom Filters (vBF) is an extension to traditional BF
that supports multi-set membership testing. Traditional BF will
return found or not-found for each key. vBF will also return
which set the key belongs to if it is found.

Since each set requires a BF, vBF should be used when set count
is small. vBF's false positive rate could be set appropriately so
that its memory requirement and lookup speed is better in certain
cases comparing to HT based set-summary.

This patch adds the vBF implementation.
