RFC PATCH 1/1 mke2fs.conf: Enable 64bit feature by default

The 64bit feature has been added to the ext4 a long time ago (2006?) so it should be ok to enable it by default by now. This would allow us to resize the file system past 16TB when it was originally smaller than that and user did not specified 64bit feature manually.
