Redundancy file operation library (librefop)

Redundancy file operation library is a another implementation for the backup 
manager of AGL base system.  It aim to tiny implementation.


File operation algorithm

New data write - case 1..

1-0. Initial state.

 --------   
| latest |  
|  file  |  
 --------   

1-1. Create new file.

 --------   
|  New   |  
|  file  |

| latest |        | backup |  
|  file  |        |  file  |  
 --------          --------   

1-4. Done.


New data write - case 2.

2-0. Initial state.

 --------          --------   
| latest |        | backup |  
|  file  |        |  file  |  
 --------          --------
