Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] e2image -b option to pass superblock number

There was a discussion about possibility of using
superblock backup for creating images with e2image.

https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg30583.html

Now our customer faced with situation then it would be
useful to have image file from partition with broken
superblock.

Here is set of patches that adds this functionality.

This is the second version of the patch set. Changes since v1:
* code style fixes
* moving common code to ext2fs_open2
* added  "-B blocksize" option
* fixes in test script

  ext2fs: opening filesystem code refactoring
  e2image: add -b option to use supperblock backup
  tests: add test for e2image -b option
  man: add -b option to e2image
