build-sys: use AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = gnu
The change will cause make dist to have INSTALL file from
automake release, which hopefully is more up to date than
manually maintained version.
The gnu option will also require ChangeLog to be present, and
without doubts no-one wants to maintain that manually. I added
file to reference link to internet git repository view.
At the time of make dist current tag is added to the ChangeLog
reference which will make release to point exactly to the point
where changes ended. Minor drawback is that untagged make dist
releases will contain a broken link in ChangeLog.

blkid: don't read past end of FAT32 cluster chain
When looking for a volume label on a FAT32 filesystem, blkid does not
correctly handle special cluster values in the range 0x0FFFFFF8 to
0x0FFFFFFF, which mark the last cluster in a chain. As a result, it
begins to read [what it treats as] FAT entries from past the end of the
FAT. Depending on the data read, it may then try to parse random data
from the filesystem (including user files, free space, and other
directories) as though it were part of the root directory.
Because parsing stops early when a volume label is found, the problem
only occurs on filesystems without a volume label. When it occurs, it
may result in a long sequence of lseek and read calls; on an older IDE
drive with a 2 GB FAT32 partition, this amounted to around 3 seconds of
disk I/O.
After patching, blkid stop parsing as soon as it reaches a cluster value
greater than or equal to the number of entries in the FAT.

This will happen for either partition table re-reads after partition
