mkfs.xfs: add configuration file parsing support using libini_config

You may want to stick to specific set of configuration options when
creating filesystems with mkfs.xfs -- sometimes due to pure technical
reasons, but some other times to ensure systems remain compatible as
new features are introduced with older kernels, or if you always want
to take advantage of some new feature which would otherwise typically
be disruptive.

This adds support for parsing a configuration file to override defaults
parameters to be used for mkfs.xfs.

We define an XFS configuration directory, /etc/mkfs.xfs.d/ and allow for
different types of configuration files, if none is specified we look for
the default type, /etc/mkfs.xfs.d/default, and you can override with -T.
For instance, if you specify:

	mkfs.xfs -T experimental -f /dev/loop0

The file /etc/mkfs.xfs.d/experimental will be used as your configuration
file. If you really need to override the full path of the configuration
file you may use the MKFS_XFS_CONFIG environment variable.

To use /etc/ be sure to configure xfsprogs with:

 ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/

To verify what configuration file is used on a system use the typical:

  mkfs.xfs -N

There is only a subset of options allowed to be set on the configuration
file, and currently only 1 or 0 are acceptable values. The default
parameters you can override on a configuration file and their current
built-in default settings are:

[data]
noalign=0

[inode]
align=1
projid32bit=1
sparse=0

[log]
lazy-count=1

[metadata]
crc=1
finobt=1
rmapbt=0
reflink=0

[naming]
ftype=1

[rtdev]
noalign=0

+.SH NAME
+mkfs.xfs.d \- mkfs.xfs configuration directory
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+uses a set of initial default parameters for configuration. These defaults
+are conservatively decided by the community as xfsprogs and features for XFS
+in the kernel advance. One can override these default on the
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+command line, but there are cases where it is desirable for sensible defaults
+to always be specified by the system where
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+runs on. This may desirable for example on systems with old kernels where the
+built-in default parameters on
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+may not be able to create a filesystem which the old kernel supports and it
+would be unclear what parameters are needed to produce a compatible filesystem.
+Overriding
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+built-in defaults may also be desirable if you have a series of systems with
+different kernels and want to be able to create filesystems which all systems
+are able to support properly.
+.PP
+The XFS configuration directory
+.B mkfs.xfs.d (5)
+can be used to define different configuration file types which can be used to
+override the built-in default parameters by
+.B mkfs.xfs (8).
+Different configuration file types are supported, the default
+configuration file type,
+.I /etc/mkfs.xfs.d/default
+, will be looked for first and if present will be used to override
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+built-in default parameters. You can override the configuration file type by
+specifying the type when using
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+by using the
+.B -T
+parameter. For example:
+.I mkfs.xfs -T experimental -f /dev/sda1
+will make
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+look for and use the configuration file type
+.I /etc/mkfs.xfs.d/experimental
+to override
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+default parameters. If you need to override the full path for a configuration
+file type you can use the
+.I MKFS_XFS_CONFIG
+environment variable prior to calling
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+to define the
+full path to the configuration file to be used. If you used the
+.B -T
+parameter or if you set the
+.I MKFS_XFS_CONFIG
+environment variable the configuration file must be present and should parse
+correctly.
+.PP
+Parameters passed to to the
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+command line always override any defaults set on the configuration file used.
+.PP
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+will always describe what configuration file was used, if any
+was used at all. To verify which configuration file would be used prior to
+execution of
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+you can use
+.I mkfs.xfs -N.
+.PP
+.SH DEFAULT PARAMETERS
+Default parameters for
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+consists of a small subset of the parameters one can set with on the command
+line. Default parameters can only be either enabled or disabled, you can set
+their value to 1 to enable or 0 to disable. Below we list the different
+supported default parameters which can be defined on configuration files, along
+with the current built-in setting.
