Filesystems of the ext familly can carry a filesystem label.
Add an option for the user to specify such a label.

Currently, we are using a shell script called genext2fs, that
impersonates the real genext2fs. But that script does much more than
just call genextfs: it also calls tune2fs and e2fsck.
Because it impersonates genext2fs, we can not easily add new options,
and are constrained by the genext2fs options.
But it turns out that, of all the options supported by the real
genext2fs, we only really care for a subset, namely:
- number of blocks
- number of inodes
- percentage of blocks reeserved to root
- the root directory which to generate the image from
So, we introduce a new host package, mke2img, that is intended to
eventually replace genext2fs.sh.
This new script is highly modeled from the existing genext2fs.sh, but
was slightly refreshed, and a new, supposedly sane set of options has
been choosen for the features we need (see above), and some new options
were added, too, rather than relying on the arguments order or
environment variables:
-b <nb-blocks> number of blocks in the filesystem
-i <nb-inodes> number of inodes in the filesystem
-r <pc-reserved> percentage of reserved blocks
* -d <root-dir> directory containing the root of the filesystem
* -o <img-file> output image file
-G <ext-gen> extfs generation: 2, 3, or 4 (default: 2)
-R <ext-rev> ext2 revision: 0 or 1 (default 1)
-l <label> filesystem label
-u <uid> filesystem UUID; if not specified, a random one is used
* Mandatory options
Since the upstream e2fsprogs are expected to release a new mke2fs that
will be able to generate a filesystem image from a directory, we then
will be able to replace all the logic in mke2img, to use mke2fs instead
of the (relatively fragile) combination of the three tools we currently
use.
An entry is added for it in the "Host utilities" menu, so it can be
selected for use by post-{build,image} scripts. The ext2 filesystem
selection is changed to select that now.

genext2fs is built only if the user selected an ext2 root filesystem.
However, some use-cases can't live with the full target/ dir on the
root filesystem, and requires separate partitions (eg. for /usr).
In this case, the user would not select an ext2 root fs in the
Buildrooot menu, and would only generate a tarball of the rootfs.
This tarball would then be used from a post-image script to build
the actual required FSes.
But then, genext2fs is not built, since the ext2 root FS was not
selected.
As for the other filesystem generators, provide a host variant of
genext2fs (genext2fs is already host-package aware, so only needs
adding a Kconfig entry).

Some bootloaders have a buggy ext2 support, and require ext2 rev1
instead of the traditional ext2 rev0 that genext2fs produces.
tune2fs accepts only one '-O list' at a time, so we need to construct
a list of -O options.

Use the host-e2fsprogs to tune2fs the generated rootfs.ext2 image,
and upgrade it to either one of ext2, ext3 or ext4.
Since calling tune2fs may require running e2fsck (tune2fs will warn
to do so when certain FS options are changed), we systematically call
e2fsck. This makes the code path simpler, and as a side-effect checks
that genext2fs did not generate garbage.
In turn, e2fsck will unconditionally add a UUID to the filesystem,
which is bad for reproducibility, so we call tune2fs again to remove
the UUID. This does not require checking the filesystem.
To ensure compatibility of Buildroot's .config, leave ext2 as the
default. Boards' .config can override this at will.

The generic fs handling does a chmod -R 0:0 $(TARGET_DIR), so there's no
need for a specific option to enforce this when making an ext2fs image.

It's pretty uncommon to use ext2fs on embedded systems, so don't enable
it by default.
