Jani Nikula 371e03880d relay: make create_buf_file and remove_buf_file callbacks mandatory
All clients provide create_buf_file and remove_buf_file callbacks, and
they're required for relay to make sense.  There is no point in them being
optional.

Also document whether each callback is mandatory/optional.
