Jim Harris 5b16c18d17 build: move app rules to spdk.app.mk
This removes a ton of duplicate from a lot of
Makefiles.  Note that spdk.unittest.mk still keeps
its own app rules, and now just includes
spdk.app_vars.mk instead.  Fixing Makefiles that
include this .mk file requires more work that is
deferred for now.  We do need to add the
"install: all" rule explicitly to this .mk files.

Note that Makefiles need to include spdk.app.mk
now at the end of the file, so that things like
APP and SPDK_LIB_LIST are defined before including
it.

The blobcli tool has several options that are listed by using the -h command however the three operating modes are covered in more detail here:

Command Mode

This is the default and will just execute one command at a time. It's simple but the downside is that if you are going to interact quite a bit with the blobstore, the startup time for the application can be cumbersome.

Shell Mode

You startup shell mode by using the -S command. At that point you will get a "blob>" prompt where you can enter any of the commands, including -h, to execute them. You can stil enter just one at a time but the initial startup time for the application will not get in the way between commands anymore so it is much more usable.

Script (aka test) Mode

In script mode you just supply one command with a filename when you start the cli, for example blobcli -T test.bs will feed the tool the file called test.bs which contains a series of commands that will all run automatically and, like shell mode, will only initialize one time so is quick.

The script file format (example) is shown below. Comments are allowed and each line should contain one valid command (and its parameters) only. In order to operate on blobs via their ID value, use the token $Bn where n represents the instance of the blob created in the script.

For example, the line -s $B0 will operate on the blobid of the first blob created in the script (0 index based). $B2 represents the third blob created in the script.

If you start test mode with the additional "ignore" option, any invalid script lines will simply be skipped, otherwise the tool will exit if it runs into an invalid line (ie './blobcli -T test.bs ignore`).

Sample test/bs file:

# this is a comment
-i
-s bs
-l bdevs
-n 1
-s bs
-s $B0
-n 2
-s $B1
-m $B0 Makefile
-d $B0 M.blob
-f $B1 65
-d $B1 65.blob
-s bs
-x $B0 b0key boval
-x $B1 b1key b1val
-r $B0 b0key
-s $B0
-s $B1
-s bs
