Subject: [RFC][PATCH 10/11][take 2] convert blk_t to 64-bit for ext4 FS in
 e2fsprogs

This patch converts blk_t type to __u64 when compiling code with 
"_EXT4FS_" option.
Force the 64-bit feature when the filesystem is greater than 2**32 blocks.

Changes from the previous version:
- ask for confirmation before creating the ext4 filesystem
