libceph: kill osd request r_trail

The osd trail is a pagelist, used only for a CALL osd operation
to hold the class and method names, along with any input data for
the call.

It is only currently used by the rbd client, and when it's used it
is the only bit of outbound data in the osd request.  Since we
already support (non-trail) pagelist data in a message, we can
just save this outbound CALL data in the "normal" pagelist rather
than the trail, and get rid of the trail entirely.

The existing pagelist support depends on the pagelist being
dynamically allocated, and ownership of it is passed to the
messenger once it's been attached to a message.  (That is to say,
the messenger releases and frees the pagelist when it's done with
it).  That means we need to dynamically allocate the pagelist also.

Note that we simply assert that the allocation of a pagelist
structure succeeds.  Appending to a pagelist might require a dynamic
allocation, so we're already assuming we won't run into trouble
doing so (we're just ignore any failures--and that should be fixed
at some point).

This resolves:
