Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] libext2fs: Adding itree feature and inode flags

The 'itree' feature adds an auxiliary tree that should help with indexing
directories. The tree resides on the file system along with the original
HTree (althought it is placed outside of the directory file).

It is a B+tree that contains directory entries sorted in inode order and
it is used to implement the getdents/readdir system calls. The inodes
are then returned in the optimal order, which improves the performance of
directory traversal.

This commit reserves a flag for the itree read-only compatible feature
and also an inode flag to indicate a directory has the inode tree
available.

Feature flag:    EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_ITREE 0x1000
Inode flag:      EXT4_ITREE_FL 0x20000000
