Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] fs_parser: add helper to define parameters with string and flag types

Add a new helper macro that defines two new parameters, both with the same
name, but one of type 'string' and another of type 'flag'.  The 'string'
parameter may also be empty (i.e. without value).  In practice this helper
allows a filesystem to easily define a parameter that can be empty (flag)
or have a value (string).
