e2fsprogs: mke2fs: add the ability to copy files from a given directory

We will add a -d option which will be used for adding the files from a
given directory to the filesystem, it is similiar to genext2fs, but
genext2fs doesn't fully support ext4.

* We already have the basic operations in debugfs:
  - Copy regular file
  - Create directory
  - Create symlink
  - Create special file

  We will move these operations into create_inode.h and create_inode.c,
  then let both mke2fs and debugfs use them.

* What we need to do are:
  - Copy the given directory recursively, this will be done by the
    populate_fs()
  - Set the owner, mode and other informations
  - Handle the hard links

TODO:
  - The libext2fs can't create the socket file (S_IFSOCK), do we have a
    plan to support it ?
