E2fsck could to do more damage to a filesystem by trying to relocate
inode tables due to corrupted block group descriptors, and the
relocation could seriously damage the filesystem.
This patch enhances ext2fs_check_desk() so it detects more
self-inconsistent block group descriptors, including the cases where
e2sck might be tempted to relocate the inode table, and reports the
block group descriptors as invalid; this will cause e2fsck to attempt
to use the backup superblocks, which hopefully have not been trashed.

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.)
