Three independent fixes for mke2fs:
1) document the hash_seed option
2) prohibit multiple '-E' arguments
3) add extended option for setting root inode security context
The first fix is straightforward.
For the second one, some alternatives would be:
- only print a warning, not a fatal error (but that is easy to miss)
- allow multiple '-E' options, and join them automatically
For the third one, the main use case is when generating empty
filesystems for use when SELinux is enabled.
