The Linux floppy driver is a bit different from the other block device
drivers, in that if the device has been opened with O_EXCL, it disallows
another open(), even if the second open() does not have the O_EXCL flag.
So this patch moves the call to ext2fs_get_device_size() so that if it
returns EBUSY, e2fsck can close the filesystem, retry the device size,
and then reopen it. This rather complicated approach is required since
we need to know the blocksize of the filesystem before we can call
ext2fs_get_device_size().

Change all of the e2fsprogs programs to use the newer add_error_table()
and remove_error_table() interfaces instead of the much older
initialize_*_error_table() function.

There were still some %d's lurking when we print blocks & inodes; also
many of the counters in the e2fsck_struct were signed, and probably
need to be unsigned to avoid overflows.

Thanks to Andreas Dilger for this idea. If the filesystem is not mounted,
e2fsck will open it in exclusive mode to prevent the a confused/careless
system administrator from mounting the filesystem while the filesystem
check is taking place, which could cause all sorts of problems.

Whether fs checks are skipped when the system is running on battery can be
controlled by the new e2fsck.conf option defer_check_on_battery (this option
defaults to TRUE).

What's happening is that when you run on battery, e2fsck will delay
running the filesystem check, on the assumption that it is better to
defer the check until some time in the future when your laptop is
running on AC mains again. This deferral is not infinite, however; if
the number of mounts exceeds twice the max mount counts, or if the
interval between checks exceeds twice the check interval, e2fsck will
force the check even though you are on battery.
I've changed the sources to print a message to make this more clear.

If the e2fsck configuration file sets the allow_cancellation option to be
true, then if the filesystem does not have any known problems, and was
known to be cleanly unmounted, then let e2fsck exit with a status code of 0
instead of 32 (FSCK_CANCELED) so that the bootup scripts will continue
without stopping the boot. (Addresses Debian Bug: #150295)

stderr by default, unless a filename is specified via the
