Create a new function, io_channel_alloc_buf() which allocates I/O
buffers with appropriate alignment if we are using direct I/O. The
original code was sometimes using a larger alignment factor than
necessary, and would always request an aligned memory buffer even when
it was not necessary since the block device was not opened with
O_DIRECT.

The DEFS line in MCONFIG had gotten so long that it exceeded 4k, and
this was starting to cause some tools heartburn. It also made "make
V=1" almost useless, since trying to following the individual commands
run by make was lost in the noise of all of the defines.
So fix this by putting the configure-generated defines in lib/config.h
and the directory pathnames to lib/dirpaths.h.
In addition, clean up some vestigal defines in configure.in and in the
Makefiles to further shorten the cc command lines.

In order to provide generic "discard" function for all e2fsprogs tools
add a discard function prototype into struct_io_manager. Specific
function for specific io managers can be crated that way.
This commit also creates unix_discard function which uses BLKDISCARD
ioctl to discard data blocks on the block device and bind it into
unit_io_manager structure to be available for all e2fsprogs tools.
Note that BLKDISCARD is still Linux specific ioctl, however other
unix systems may provide similar functionality. So far the
unix_discard() remains linux specific hence is embedded in #ifdef
__linux__ macro.

Provide a C language wrapper function for io_channel_read_blk64() and
io_channel_write_blk64() instead of using a C preprocessor macro, with
an fallback to the old 32-bit functions if an application-provided I/O
channel manager doesn't supply 64-bit method functions and the block
numbers can fit in 32-bit integer.

example, /tmp/test.img?offset=1024. Multiple options can separated using
the & character, although at the moment the only option implemented is
the offset option in the unix_io layer.
