Explain more clearly how boolean relations in the mke2fs.conf file are
parsed, and which config parameters are in fact boolean relations.

This patch adds support for specifying 'reserved_ratio' (percent blocks
reserved for super user, same as '-m' command line option) in mke2fs.conf.
It adds profile_get_double function in profile.c that allows reading
floating point values from profile files.

User namespace xattrs are generally useful, and I think extN
is the only filesystem requiring a special mount option to
enable them, when xattrs are otherwise available. So this
change sets that mount option into the defaults, via a
mke2fs.conf option.
Note that if xattrs are config'd off, this will lead to a
mostly-harmless:
EXT4-fs (sdc1): (no)user_xattr options not supported
message at mount time...

The forced fsck often comes at unexpected and inopportune moments,
and even enterprise customers are often caught by surprise when
this happens. Because a filesystem with an error condition will
be marked as requiring fsck anyway, I submit that the time-based
and mount-based checks are not particularly useful, and that
administrators can schedule fscks on their own time, or tune2fs
the enforced intervals if they so choose. This patch disables the
intervals by default, and I've added a new mkfs.conf option to
turn on the old behavior of random, unexpected, time-consuming
fscks at boot time. ;)

Allow to specify discard in mke2fs.conf. Also change the way how to
specify default value for lazy_itable_init. It is better to have all
this defaulting done in the same place so do it in definition (as we do
with discard).

We need to defer setting the blocks count field in the fs_param
structure until it is known whether 64-bit feature will be enabled
(and whether the blocks count is valid).
We also add a new mke2fs.conf configuration parameter,
auto_64-bit_support which will automatically enable the 64-bit feature
if the number of blocks requires it.

When running mke2fs, if a file system is detected
on the device, we use Undo I/O manager as the io manager.
This helps in reverting the changes made to the filesystem
in case we wrongly selected the device.

Change the way we allocate bitmaps and inode tables if the FLEX_BG
feature is used at mke2fs time. It places calculates a new offset for
bitmaps and inode table base on the number of groups that the user
wishes to pack together using the new "-G" option. Creating a
filesystem with 64 block groups in a flex group can be done by:
mke2fs -j -I 256 -O flex_bg -G 32 /dev/sdX

Instead of using -O lazy_bg,uninit_bg as the way of requesting that
the inode table be lazy unitialized, use the parameter
lazy_itable_init, which can either be set via mke2fs's -E option, or
via /etc/mke2fs.conf.
Also fix some random problems in mke2fs's man page, including
documenting the extent feature, which had been missing.

Provide mke2fs with a much more sophisticated system for controlling
configuration parameters of a newly created filesystem based on a
split filesystem and usage type system. The -t option to mke2fs was a
deprecated alias to -c; it now specifies a filesystem type (ext2,
ext3, ext4, etc.), while the -T option can now be a comma separated
usage list.

This patch allows "inode_size" to be specified in the mke2fs.conf file,
and always compiles in the "-I" option. In addition, it disallows
specifying the inode size on rev 0 filesystems, though I don't think
this was much of a danger anyways.
Clean up dead lines in ext2fs.h.
