mke2fs: Use e4fsprogs programs if available.

On RHEL 5, mke2fs is ancient, and there is a non-standard "mke4fs"
binary which acts like the more recent mke2fs on Fedora.  Since there
are several annoyances and actual bugs in the ancient RHEL 5 mke2fs,
use mke4fs instead if it's available.

/* Run mke2fs to create a filesystem of type fstype, where fstype
* is the string "ext2", "ext3" or "ext4".
*
* This is more complex than it seems.
*
* On RHEL 5, the -t option was deprecated. Moreover RHEL <= 5.4
* systems have a bug where the -t option doesn't work (it doesn't
* correctly ignore the following argument).
*
* On RHEL 5, to create an ext4dev filesystem you have to use
* the special command /sbin/mke4fs. This can also create ext2/3
* using the '-t fstype' option.
*
* On Fedora 11+, mke4fs was renamed mke2fs, and it can use the
* '-t fstype' option to specify the filesystem type.
*
* So it seems best to run /sbin/mke4fs if it exists, or /sbin/mke2fs
* otherwise. We specify e4fsprogs in the package list to ensure it
* is loaded if it exists.
