losetup: try to set up loop readonly if EACCES
Currently mounting/losetup an image fails if it is accessable readonly.
There are no problems if it is a file on a local filesystem.
It seems only to happen if it is a NFS mounted image, which is
read-write in permission but with root_squash option.
set_loop checks only for EROFS to retry open with readonly mode,
but in this case we get EACCES.

mount: mtab created multiple times with -a option
When /etc/mtab does not exist and mount is called with -a, for every
mount point that is mounted a root-fs record is added to mtab. This is
because get_mtab_info() sets the flag mtab_does_not_exist to 1 when it
doesn't find /etc/mtab. However, if it actually finds /etc/mtab, the
variable is not reset to 0. So on every subsequent call to
get_mtab_info() (as it is the case when mounting several mount points
with the -a option), mount will think that /etc/mtab does not exist,
even if it was created in the meantime by mount itself.

Linux cannot umount a device whose mount point is hidden by subsequent
mount(s). i.e. We must umount the devices associated to a mount point
in the reverse order of when they were mounted. If umount was called
violating this rule, report error and exit.

losetup: remove dependence on minor numbers
The latest kernel supports partitioned loop devices (kernel commit 476a4813cfddf7cf159956cc0e2d3c830c1507e3). Unfortunately, this change
makes minor numbers useless, because mirror number does not match with
loop device name (loop<N>).

It makes no sense to allow translators to adjust the spacing when
they cannot adjust the spacing of the actual data too. Adjusting
such spacing is not really a translator's task.

scriptreplay: new implementation is out-of-sync
Reproduction steps:
1. Run "script -t 2>timing".
2. When the prompt comes up, hit return.
3. New prompt. Wait several seconds, then type "true" and hit return.
4. Repeat (3) as desired, then exit scripted shell.
5. Run "scriptreplay timing".
You'll find on the replay that, rather than waiting several seconds
between the prompt and true, the wait will actually occur after the
first "t" of true.

losetup: looplist_* refactoring, remove scandir()
This patch replaces scandir-based implementation with readdir(). The
readdir(3) is less expensive and more portable (to non-glibc environment).
The patch also replaces sysfs-based solution with simpler /proc/partitions
parsing. The /proc/partitions includes all used loop devices on all systems
(include 2.4). This solution seems faster than scandir(/sys/block/) too.
Summary, the losetup (with this patch) uses three methods to found a
loop device:
a) parse /proc/partitions to found already used loop devices (for
loserup -a)
b) stat(2) for all loop[0-7] devices (default number of loop devices).
This is classic method from util-linux <= 2.13. This method is good
enough for standard Linux machines with default number of loop
devices.
c) scan all /dev or /dev/loop/ for loop devices. This is useful for
crazy people who need more than 8 loop devices.
