ext4: Regularize mount options

Add support for using the mount options "barrier" and "nobarrier", and
"auto_da_alloc" and "noauto_da_alloc", which is more consistent than
"barrier=<0|1>" or "auto_da_alloc=<0|1>".  Most other ext3/ext4 mount
options use the foo/nofoo naming convention.  We allow the old forms
of these mount options for backwards compatibility.

auto_da_alloc(*) Many broken applications don't use fsync() when
noauto_da_alloc replacing existing files via patterns such as
fd = open("foo.new")/write(fd,..)/close(fd)/
rename("foo.new", "foo"), or worse yet,
fd = open("foo", O_TRUNC)/write(fd,..)/close(fd).
If auto_da_alloc is enabled, ext4 will detect
the replace-via-rename and replace-via-truncate
patterns and force that any delayed allocation
blocks are allocated such that at the next
journal commit, in the default data=ordered
mode, the data blocks of the new file are forced
to disk before the rename() operation is
commited. This provides roughly the same level
of guarantees as ext3, and avoids the
"zero-length" problem that can happen when a
system crashes before the delayed allocation
blocks are forced to disk.
