sfdisk: add --backup and --backup-file
The option --backup force sfdisk to store *all* fragments of the
partition table (including MBR partition tables store in the
extended partitions) to
$HOME/sfdisk-<devname>-<offset>.bak
The options -O, -backup-file <path> allows to override the default
path, but sfdisk still appends <devname>-<offset>.bak to the <path>.
The backup files always contain only raw data from the device, so it's
possible to use dd(1) to restore original data on the device.
The original sfdisk also supported -O <file>, but semantic was little
bit different:
- all was based on 512-byte sectors
- all sectors was stored to the one file in format
<offset>|<sector>|<offset>|...
this original concept makes the backup files specific to sfdisk and with
dependence on sector size.
The new concept is the same we already use for wipefs(8) backup files.
Example (disk with GPT):
# sfdisk /dev/sda --backup
Welcome to sfdisk (util-linux 2.25.202-f4deb-dirty).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

sfdisk: add deprecated --Linux
The sfdisk does not care about compatibility with classic DOS
partitioning, and it does not warn about incompatibility with DOS at
all. It means that --Linux is default and it's unnecessary to use
this option.
It's the same situation like with "--unit S", these options are very
probably often used in scripts, and these all is default now. So for
backward compatibility new sfdisk accepts these options on command
line, but prints "option is deprecated" warning message.

sfdisk: add --quiet
Note that original sfdisk implementation suppressed warning
messages for --quiet.
Now we keep warning and error messages visible, but suppress
extra info messages only (for example to make it more usable in
scripts). IMHO suppress warnings is bad idea.

sfdisk: add --parttype
The patch also makes --{id,change-id,print-id} deprecated in favour
of --parttype. The original --id is too generic option name and the
--print-id and --change-id are unnecessary and inconsistent with
another sfdisk options (e.g. we don't have --change-bootable)

libblkid: zeroize errno on blkid_probe_get_buffer() success
Since 37f4060225df0591ab8e1dd676dbc8115d900d4f prober functions are
sensitive to errno, it seems more robust to set errno=0 with in
blkid_probe_get_buffer() on success than set the zero on all places
where we call blkid_probe_get_buffer().

include: fix compiler warnings
This change has motivation to make -Wall -pedantic compiler options to

An example is, in one terminal "sudo su -; echo $$", and in
another terminal, "kill -9 $PID" (the pid of the su -). It
should not print "(core dumped)", unless the kill signal
specified so, e.g. kill -7 or kill -11.
libmount: don't return root if path contains // or ending /
If the path fx. is /foo/bar/ the initial stripoff will replace the last slash
with \0 and return a pointer to that exact \0 character. The same thing will
happen if the path contains // somewhere.

This enables libmount to build on non-linux, which also
means we can build fsck on non-linux again.
(Since the context part of libmount still needs porting,
building the mount utility has instead been restricted
to only build on Linux.)
This has been build-tested on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD.

Don't use the optimization not to read mountinfo from commit 6a52473ecd877227f6f7da2b95da0b51593ffec1 if --detach-loop was given
since we need the name of the loop device in that case and with the
