Change the e2fsck/mke2fs/tune2fs/e2image/debugfs regression tests to
be driven by Makefile rules instead of by a script loop. This allows
the tests to be run in parallel like a build and reduces testing time
significantly.
One major change to the tests themselves is to printing the test name,
description, and status together after the test has passed or failed,
to avoid mixing lines from the tests. The other major change is to
use unique temporary filenames for each test, which was mostly handled
already via b4db1e4c74, but in some
cases temporary files are changed to use $test_name.tmp to avoid any
collision between running tests.
On my old 2-CPU system it reduced the testing time from 160s to 40s.
Much of the savings is from the MMP test delays running in parallel.
It still takes the time of the slowest test, f_mmp_garbage, though
there will be ongoing benefit in the future as more tests are added
since the wallclock time will not increase linearly for each test.
Tests were run with various combinations of "make -j", and "make -j2"
through "make -j44" repeatedly without any test failures.

The e2fsprogs and kernel implementation of directory hash tree has a
bug which causes the implementation to be dependent on whether
characters are signed or unsigned. Platforms such as the PowerPC,
Arm, and S/390 have signed characters by default, which means that
hash directories on those systems are incompatible with hash
directories on other systems, such as the x86.
To fix this we add a new flags field to the superblock, and define two
new bits in that field to indicate whether or not the directory should
be signed or unsigned. If the bits are not set, e2fsck and fixed
kernels will set them to the signed/unsigned value of the currently
running platform, and then respect those bits when calculating the
directory hash. This allows compatibility with current filesystems,
as well as allowing cross-architectural compatibility.
