lowInodes Callback for filesets

The noDiskspace callback is triggered on several occasions, one being an inodespace running out of inodes. At that point n time the filespace is already full and users see "no space on device" errors. We'd need a similar callback that triggers earlier. Or, alternatively a way to customize this callback to trigger at a certain mark BEFORE the inodes are exhausted.

An alternative was some kind of automatism that increased the maxInodes value on demand.
There's the lowDiskSpace callback but this is a) not supporting filesets and b) depending on the current policy.

    I think this is not the same. You can activate --auto-inode-limit only for the whole filesystem but not individually per fileset. So there might/will be situations where some filesets should not be auto-extended while others should. This could be solved with a callback but not with --auto-inode-limit

    In scaale 5.1.4 we introduced --auto-inode-limit file system config option , you can enable this filesystem option to avoid running into out of inode situation until it actually hits the physical storage limit.
