Btrfs: add and improve comments

This improves the comments at the top of many functions.  It didn't
dive into the guts of functions because I was trying to
avoid merging problems with the new allocator and back reference work.

extent-tree.c and volumes.c were both skipped, and there is definitely
more work todo in cleaning and commenting the code.
