The sed filters for test outputs that are used to remove build and
test specific information (such as version strings, dates, times,
UUIDs) were unconditionally deleting the first line of output. This
would normally contain the tool version string, but in some cases
contained other information that was being lost. This can lead to
difficulty debugging test failures.
The sed filtering has been changed to only remove the actual version
strings. As well, similar filter strings were duplicated throughout
many scripts, and "sed" and "tr" were often called multiple times in
a pipeline. These have been consolidated into a single filter.sed
file to avoid having to maintain these filters in multiple places.
In a few cases, accidentally deleted messages have been restored to
the expect output for the tests. In other cases, trivial whitespace
has been changed in the expect files.

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.

If e2fsprogs tools (mke2fs, e2fsck) is run on regular file instead of
on block device, we can use punch hole instead of regular discard
command which would not work on regular file anyway. This gives us
several advantages. First of all when e2fsck is run with '-E discard'
parameter it will punch out all ununsed space from the image, hence
trimming down the file system image. And secondly, when creating an
file system on regular file (with '-E discard' which is default), we
can use punch hole to clear the file content, hence we can skip inode
table initialization, because reads from sparse area returns zeros. This
will result in faster file system creation (without the need to specify
lazy_itable_init) and smaller images.
This commit also fixes some tests that would fail due to mke2fs showing
discard progress, hence the output would differ.

The /tmp directory is often a memory based file system, and using this
can speed up running the regression test suite.

f_swapfs, f_move_itable, f_resize_inode, test_config:
Allow the diff options to be set in test_config so that
diff -u can be used on platforms that have it. (To be
done: checking whether diff can support -u in the
configure script.)
