Make Volume Fully Managed and Optional (enhancement)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In the masterless node environment I should be able to add and get a file by 
it's key only without having to supply a volume.

I believe this falls under the category of routing.  If I don't supply a volume 
weed-fs should just be able to "figure it out".

This is possible, but could be slower since all volume servers need to be 
queried for the file key minus the volume id.

What's the most likely use case for it?

It's a feature aimed more towards adoption than anything else.  

For many of the scale-out storage projects such as memcache, redis, 
elasticsearch, routing like this is not required, but rather, optional.  Simply 
ask a node in the cluster for the document and you get it.

I hear you on the performance side and would not want to lose any.  Optional is 
good!

If hitting any server, for example, if the volume is not on that server, it 
will be redirected.
 curl -L http://localhost:8080/4,2710c2192410

Works for any master server also:
 curl -L http://localhost:9333/4,2710c2192410
