PATCH 1/1 set s_raid_stride and s_raid_stripe_width

This is a resend of a patch for tune2fs and mke2fs to allow setting the s_raid_stride and s_raid_stripe_width fields in the superblock. These aren't used by the kernel yet, but it is desirable to have mballoc use the s_raid_stripe_width value to align and size allocations on RAID boundaries to avoid read-modify-write on RAID 5/6 systems.

This patch has improved error messages for parsing extended options, and prints a warning if the stripe-width is not a multiple of the stride.

It also adds a whole bunch of missing fields to debugfs "set_super_value", and adds parsing of 64-bit values and checking of overflow therein.

What was very bizarre is that having _XOPEN_SOURCE 500 set would confuse the use of strtoull() to mis-parse values between 33 and 64 bits on my system. Using __USE_ISOC9X directly isn't useful because it is unset in features.h.

The use of _XOPEN_SOURCE 600 to define __USE_ISOC9X works at least as far back as FC3 with glibc 2.3.6 (2005), so should be reasonably portable. Similarly, per the strtoull() man page (and testing) if errno isn't checked there is no detection of 64-bit overflow of the input value.
