[OE-core] [PATCH 00/14] use "mke2fs -d" to create the ext2/3/4 image

[Robert Yang]

Benefits:
* The "mke2fs -d" is more faster than populate-extfs.sh, it will save about 25
  seconds for a core-image-sato rootfs from my testing.

* Will fix these bugs:
  5901: Error at rootfs time if 'ptest-pkgs' is in IMAGE_FEATURES
  5797: populate-extfs.sh: problem with large images
  5712: /var/lib/opkg/alternatives/[[: File not found by ext2_lookup

NOTE:
* These patches have been merged into e2fsprogs's next branch, we can
  drop them when the new e2fsprogs releases and we upgrade it. It is a
  little different from the upstream since I've fixed it a little
  according to the feedback.

* Thanks for Darren's great help.
