COMMIT: https://review.gluster.org/19918 committed in release-3.12 by "Shyamsundar Ranganathan" <srangana> with a commit message- shared storage: Prevent mounting shared storage from non-trusted client

gluster shared storage is a volume used for internal storage for
various features including ganesha, geo-rep, snapshot.

So this volume should not be exposed to the client, as it is
a special volume for internal use.

This fix wont't generate non trusted volfile for shared storage volume.

COMMIT: https://review.gluster.org/19919 committed in release-3.12 by "Shyamsundar Ranganathan" <srangana> with a commit message- server/auth: add option for strict authentication

When this option is enabled, we will check for a matching
username and password, if not found then the connection will
be rejected. This also does a checksum validation of volfile

The option is invalid when SSL/TLS is in use, at which point
the SSL/TLS certificate user name is used to validate and
hence authorize the right user. This expects TLS allow rules
to be setup correctly rather than the default *.

This option is not settable, as a result this cannot be enabled
for volumes using the CLI. This is used with the shared storage
volume, to restrict access to the same in non-SSL/TLS environments
to the gluster peers only.

Tested:
  ./tests/bugs/protocol/bug-1321578.t
  ./tests/features/ssl-authz.t
  - Ran tests on volumes with and without strict auth
    checking (as brick vol file needed to be edited to test,
    or rather to enable the option)
  - Ran tests on volumes to ensure existing mounts are
    disconnected when we enable strict checking
