Description of problem: Along with daily, weekly, monthly and yearly snaps, users also need a way to mention the max number of snaps they need to retain if they feel that MAX_SNAPS_PER_PATH (50) is insufficient for their purpose. eg. the new snap-schedule with the retention spec could be: /PATH 1d1m 75n where a max of 75 snaps from the 1d1m snap-schedule will be retained. If number of snaps ('n') are not specified as the retention spec then the default of MAX_SNAPS_PER_PATH (50) should be applicable. NOTE: the max number of snaps possible are also a function of the system-wide config named mds_max_snaps_per_dir, which currently defaults to 100 So, if the number of snaps for a path/dir that need to be created exceeds 100, then a user would first need to tweak the value for mds_max_snaps_per_dir before updating the snap-schedule retention spec beyond 100. NOTE: Since mds_max_snaps_per_dir is a run-time system-wide spec, any change to that config will immediately affect existing snap-schedule retention specs.
