unshare: Add possibility to add mapping into root user in user namespace
This makes it very convenient to use make use of privileged actions
on CONFIG_USER_NS enabled kernels, without having to manually tinker
with uid_map and gid_map to obtain required credentials (as those
given upon unshare() vanish with call to execve() and lot of userspace
checks for euid==0 anyway).
Usage example:
$ unshare --uts
unshare: unshare failed: Operation not permitted
$ unshare --user --uts
[nfsnobody@odvarok ~]$ hostname swag
hostname: you must be root to change the host name

cal: mention where Gregorian reformation happen in September 1752
In September 1752 the Gregorian reformation happen in Great Britain and
Dominions (including what is now the USA). One could argue the cal(1)
should consider locale when determining the reformation, but such is
nearly impossible implement correctly.
The dates when reformation happen are split by areas that cannot be
expressed with current locales, for example the Netherlands is split to
two and Germany three categories depending on where in the modern country
one is. Secondly the track when reformation happen is lost for some
countries, Lithuania or Japan are good examples of such.
One of the worst for a programmer is Sweden. They got gradual calendar
change which made Swedish calendar to be completely out of sync. Later
the Swedish calendar jumped in 1753 to be in sync with everyone else.
Notice that some countries, including Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Nepal, Iran
and Afghanistan, still have not adopted the Gregorian calendar. Hence
the output of the cal(1) cannot be considered to be correct for everyone.

libblkid: Identify extN file system properly
Currently when trying to identify extN file system we're playing games
with searching for kernel modules and parsing /proc/filesystem. All of
this just because ext4 module can be used to mount ext3 and ext2 file
systems on recent kernel and also because of ext4dev.
However all of this is not necessary. Ext4 module which does support
mounting ext2 and ext3 file system is able to recognize and mount ext2
and ext3 type so there is no need to disguise it and ext4dev should only
be ever used for testing and not as fallback when other modules are
missing (use -t instead).
This also introduces a bug when in situation that we only have ext4
modules with ext2/ext3 support which is not loaded and we try to mount
ext2 file system we will mount it incorrectly as ext4. This will not
happen if the ext4 module is already loaded.
With this patch we remove all the unnecessary checks and return the real
type of the file system which is on the device. This fixes the issue.
However on the kernel which was not compiled with EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23
support one would have to provide file system type (-t) to be able to
mount the file system with ext4 driver.
