ext2fs: passthrough any extra timestamps to the dinode struct.
While it passed the classic testing, the change appears to have
caused some regression and still requires some more precautions.

In general we don't trust any of the extended timestamps unless the
EXT2F_ROCOMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE feature is set. However, in the case where
we freshly allocated a new inode the information is valid and it is
better to pass it along instead of leaving the value undefined.
This should have no practical effect but should reduce the amount of
garbage if EXT2F_ROCOMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE is set, like in cases where the
filesystem is converted from ext3 to ext4.

Directory index was introduced in ext3. We don't always use the
prefix to denote the ext2 variant they belong to but when we
do we should try to be accurate.
ext2_print_inode is not really used but it was nice to
have for initial development work. #ifdef it under a
new EXT2FS_DEBUG knob so that we don't spend time
compiling it.

Consistently use a single tab after a #define as mentioned in style(9).
Use tabs instead of space for indenting.
Fix a typo: "hash_vesion".
No functional change.

The ext4 inode flags do not have equivalents for chflags (1)
and hold information that is private to the implementation.
The i_flag field in the inode is a better place to hold the Ext4
inode flags as it saves us from masking flags while setting or
getting attributes. It should also make things cleaner if we
implement write support for Ext4.

r260545 cleared the inode flags to fix corruption problems but
we still need to pass some EXT4 flags for the ext4 read-only
mode. None of these attributes has an equivalent in FreeBSD and
are uninteresting for the system utilities so they should be
innaccessible in ext2_getattrib().
Note: we also use EXT4_HUGE_FILE but we use it directly from the
dinode structure so it is not necessary to translate it,

After r252890 we are naively attempting to pass through the
inode flags. This is technically incorrect as the ext2
inode flags don't match the UFS/system values used in
FreeBSD and a clean conversion is needed.
Some filtering was left in place so the change didn't cause
significant changes in FreeBSD but some of the garbage passed
is likely to be the cause for warning messages in linux.
Fix the issue by resetting the flags before conversion as was
done previously. This also means we will not pass the EXT4_*
inode flags into FreeBSD's inode.

Basic support for extents was implemented by Zheng Liu as part
of his Google Summer of Code in 2010. This support is read-only
at this time.
In addition to extents we also support the huge_file extension
for read-only purposes. This works nicely with the additional
support for birthtime/nanosec timestamps and dir_index that
have been added lately.
The implementation may not work for all ext4 filesystems as
it doesn't support some features that are being enabled by
default on recent linux like flex_bg. Nevertheless, the feature
should be very useful for migration or simple access in
filesystems that have been converted from ext2/3 or don't use
incompatible features.
Special thanks to Zheng Liu for his dedication and continued
work to support ext2 in FreeBSD.

This is a port of NetBSD's GSoC 2012 Ext3 HTree directory indexing
by Vyacheslav Matyushin. It was cleaned up and enhanced for FreeBSD
by Zheng Liu (lz@).
This is an excellent example of work shared among different projects:
Vyacheslav was able to look at an early prototype from Zheng Liu who
was also able to check the code from Haiku (with permission).
As in linux, the feature is not available by default and must be
enabled explicitly with tune2fs. We still do not support the
workarounds required in readdir for NFS.

We also try to make better use of the fs flags instead of
trying adapt the code according to the fs structures. In
the case of subsecond timestamps and birthtime we now
check that the feature is explicitly enabled: previously
we only checked that the reserved space was available and
silently wrote them.
This approach is much safer, especially if the filesystem
happens to use embedded inodes or support EAs.

When using big inodes there is sufficient space in ext3 to
keep extra resolution and birthtime (creation) timestamps.
The appropriate fields in the on-disk inode have been approved
for a long time but support for this in ext3 has not been
widely distributed.
In preparation for ext4 most linux distributions have enabled
by default such bigger inodes and some people use nanosecond
timestamps in ext3. We now support those when the inode is big
enough and while we do recognize the EXT4F_ROCOMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE,
we maintain the extra timestamps even when they are not used.
An additional note by Bruce Evans:
We blindly accept unrepresentable tv_nsec in VOP_SETATTR(), but
all file systems have always done that. When POSIX gets around
to specifying the behaviour, it will probably require certain
rounding to the fs's resolution and not rejecting the request.
This unfortunately means that syscalls that set times can't
really tell if they succeeded without reading back the times
using stat() or similar and checking that they were set close
enough.

FFS1 style block and inode allocation for ext2fs. Preallocation was removed
