Throttle updates for the "Allocating Groups" progress updates to once
a second as well. We now do this throttling in libext2fs, so we don't
have to do this for each of mke2fs's progress updates, and because the
updates from ext2fs_allocate_tables() come from within libext2fs
anyway.

Add a configuration knob so the regression tests can disable progress
reporting. This fixes a potential lack of predictability since the
progress reports are now time based (once a second) which is
problematic for regression tests which are comparing the expected
output of mke2fs.

Print the actual errors returned by ext2fs_open2() and
ext2fs_check_desc() before we fall back to the backup block group
descriptors so that it's easier to see if there is some obscure
failure that is causing e2fsck to think that it should use the backup
block group descriptors.

The /tmp directory is often a memory based file system, and using this
can speed up running the regression test suite.

The previous commit adds a new line printed by mke2fs with the
filesystem/device topology information. Update the regression test's
expected output to account for this.

With 64-bit file systems, mke2fs can take a long time to do things
other than write inode tables. I exported the mke2fs numeric progress
meter and used it for allocating group tables and the final file
system flush.

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.
