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. ;)

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.

The feature name "extent" is documented in mke2fs.conf, although both
"extent" and "extents" are accepted by e2fsprogs.

Also change mke2fs.conf to enable huge_file,dir_nlink,extra_isize, and
uninit_bg by default for ext4 filesystems, and enable extra_isize in
the library as well.

The Hurd only supports filesystems with a blocksize of 4096 bytes, and
128 byte inodes. It also doesn't understand the journal. So force
the defaults to be something which the Hurd can handle if "-o hurd" is
specified on the command line.

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.

Since recent kernels have a tendency to set this feature willy-nilly,
let's just enable by default. It's only very old kernels that don't
support it any more.

This makes it easier to upgrade to ext4 in the future, and it speeds
up extended attributes handling --- important on SELinux systems!
