Previously "e2fsck -fD" on a non-htree directory would sort the
directory alphabetically by name. That's stupid. Better to sort the
directory by inode number, since that will optimize performance much
more significantly than sorting by name!

This patch instruments the libext2fs unix I/O manager and adds bytes
read/written and data rate to e2fsck -tt pass/overall timing output.

Change the iterator abstraction and replace e2fsck_get_dir_info() with
e2fsck_dir_info_{set,get}_{parent,dotdot} so that we can support an
on-disk dirinfo implementation. This allows e2fsck to check very large
filesystems on systems with smaller amounts of memory and/or address
space.

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.

directories.
Speed up e2fsck slightly by only updating the master superblock;
there is no point to update the backup superblocks.
Fix a small bug in the rehashing code which could leave the indexed
flag set even after the directory was compressed instead of indexed.
(Not fatal, since the kernel will deal with this, but technically
it filesystem isn't consistent, and the filesystem will be marked
as being in error when the kernel comes across the directory. It
should also never happen in real life, since directories that small
will never be indexed, but better safe than sorry.)
Also change the threshold of when directories are indexed, so that
directories of size 2 blocks will be indexed. Otherwise they will
never be indexed by the kernel when they grow.
