hwclock: add --predict for predicting RTC reading at a given time
Implement new option --predict that predicts what the RTC will read
at a time given by the --date option. This is useful for example if
you need to setup an RTC wakeup time to distant future and want to
account for the RTC drift.

fdisk: fix -b <sectorsize>
The old fdisk (<2.17) does not differentiate between logical and
physical sector size, it uses the <sectorsize> for everything.
Now, we have logical and physical sectors size, but the -b option
changes the logical size only. The second bug is that "fdisk -b <sz>"
does not read topology information (it means that all I/O limits and
physical sector size are 512 (default).
The backwardly compatible bug fix is to override both sizes, logical
and physical if "-b" is used.
In future we can add a special option for physical size only.

libblkid: add microsecond resolution for cache entries
The libblkid library uses stat.st_mtine to detect changes on the
device. The last update time of of the device in the cache is stored
as TIME= tag in the /etc/blkid.tab file.
Linux since 2.5.48 supports nanosecond resolution and more precise
time is available in the stat.st_mtim timespec struct.
This patch add microsecond precision to TIME= tag in the cache file,
old format:
TIME="<sec>"
the new format:
TIME="<sec>.<usec>"
This change is backwardly compatible.
Now, the blkid_verify() function checks stat.st_mtime and
stat.st_mtim.tv_nsec/1000.

mount: automatically detect and loop-mount regular files
This patch allows to automatically create a loop device from a regular

Note that there is not a restriction (on kernel side) that prevents
regular file as a mount(2) source argument. A filesystem that is able
to mount regular files could be implemented.

mount: report ambivalent FS detection, improve brute force detection
The ambivalent probing result should be properly reported and user
should be informed that the problem is possible to bypass by "-t
<type>" or resolved by wipefs(8).
The mount(8) command uses a brute force stage (calls mount(2) for all
/{proc,etc}/fylesystems) if there is not any other way how to detect
the filesystem type. The brute force stage should not be restricted by
libblkid. It's possible that libblkid is not able to detect slightly
corrupted filesystem, but kernel is able to mount such filesystem.
Note that the brute force stage should not be used if libblkid returns
ambivalent probing result. In this case user's intervention is required
(e.g. mount -t <type>).
