Now the function uses result buffer for internal stuff (readlink), so

We need a better way, it seems that the original report is mostly
about udev rules disadvantages than about libblkid bug. See RH
bugzilla (#1172510) for more details.
The libmount provides way how to deal with parsing errors in fstab --
on error callback function is executed and according to the return
libmount manipulate with the malformed line, possible are three
states:
1/ fatal error; all file ignored (callback rc < 0)
2/ recoverable error; malformed line ignored (callback rc > 0)
3/ ignore the error (callback rc == 0)
The 2/ is the default if no callback specified.
Unfortunately our utils uses 3/. The correct way is to use 2/.

libmount: fix uid= and gid= translation
The current libmount version returns error when no able to convert
username/groupname to uid/git.
# mount mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/test -o uid=ignore
# mount: failed to parse mount options
This is regression, the original mount(8) has ignored possible unknown
user/group names and the option has been used unconverted (with the
original value). For example UDF kernel driver depends on this behavior
and "uid=ignore" (or "forgot") is a valid mount option.

logger: fix messages separation on UNIX socket
The function write_output() add additional \n after each message on
TYPE_TPC. This is required by syslog daemons, otherwise you will see
multiple log messages merged together in your log file, for example:
Oct 6 09:01:40 ws kzak: AAA<14>Oct 6 09:01:40 kzak: BBB
for
printf "AAA\nBBB\n" | logger -p info -u <any-socket>
Unfortunately, the connection initialization functions keep the
default ALL_TYPES as connection type and nowhere in the control struct
is info about the final real connection type. The problem is invisible
when you specify --tpc or --udp on logger command line.

logger: improve logger --journald man page example
The example use of logger --journald in the man page has a couple of flaws:
- It's missing a "MESSAGE=" field. This is supposed to be the primary
human readable text. Without it the log entry is invisible in a
plain "journalctl" output.
- The MESSAGE_ID is supposed to be a 128-bit hexadecimal string that
globally uniquely identifies the message type.
One can generate such an id with "journalctl --new-id".
This patches fixes the above and also changes the example to use a
here-document instead of printf. In my opinion it makes the expected
multi-line data format more obvious.

build-sys: allow gettext 0.17 to be used
The requirement for gettext 0.18 was introduced by commit e3e16717
to pass --no-wrap option to msgmerge tool, which I guess improves
the process of updating po files for translators. At the same time,
unfortunately, it makes building from git fail on a RHEL/CentOS 6
system, as it comes with gettext 0.17.
Use the existing hack in autogen.sh to allow building with gettext 0.17,
with an appropriate warning so that the user is aware:
warning: forcing autopoint to use old gettext 0.17
The only negative side effect of this patch I am aware of is
if gettext-0.17 is used, then --no-wrap is not being passed
to msgmerge (although msgmerge 1.17 already supports it), because
Makefile.in.in that comes with gettext 0.17 doesn't have MSGMERGE_OPTIONS.
From my POV, this is way better than to not being able to build.
NOTE if gettext 0.18.3 is installed, it is used and this patch
doesn't change anything; it only allows gettext 1.17 to be used
if this is all we have.
