Update to new upstream release 1.43.1.

1.43.1 has seen several FreeBSD portability fixes upstream, so we could
finally upgrade the port. Tweaking the test set for non-high-end
computers took a while.

Make set of self-tests configurable. Add Perl and GNU dd to build
dependency list when needed so tests can pass in a poudriere build.

Assorted other tweaks.

Unbreak port:
- Refresh old patches to avoid fuzz.
- Add two upstream patches to fix the use-after-free() issue.
- There seem to be double-free() issues left but these do not show during
  self-test, only under valgrind instrumentation so we'll move the port
  ahead and get packages while working with upstream to debug this through
  the end.
- Bump PORTREVISION to 1.

Mark broken everywhere, upstream bug (already reported).
To avoid PORTEPOCH/rollback-and-forth-again, let's give upstream a few

# and can be reproduced under MALLOC_OPTIONS=J regime on 9.3-amd64, or
# alternatively confirmed with valgrind, was reported upstream.
#
# Let's wait until 2014-10-15 whether upstream provides a fix,
# else we'll bump PORTEPOCH and roll back to 1.42.10;

Update to new upstream release 1.14.14 (2010-12-22):

Fix spurious complaint in mke2fs where it would complain if the file system type
default is not defined in mke2fs.conf.

The resize2fs program will no longer clear the resize_inode feature when the
number reserved group descriptor blocks reaches zero. This allows for subsequent
shrinks of the file system to work cleanly for flex_bg file systems.

The resize2fs program now handles devices which are exactly 16T; previously it
would give an error saying that the file system was too big.

E2fsck (and the libext2fs library) will not use the extended rec_len encoding
for file systems whose block size is less than 64k, for consistency with the
kernel.
Programming notes

E2fsprogs 1.41.13 would not compile on big-endian systems. This has been fixed.
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3138115)

The ext2fs_block_iterator2() function passed an incorrect ref_offset to its
callback function in the case of sparse files. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
#3081087)

Fix some type-punning warnings generated by newer versions of gcc.

Whoa there, boy, that's a mighty big commit y'all have there...

Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".

For ports-in-waiting:

        USE_LIBTOOL=YES         ->      USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
        USE_AUTOCONF=YES        ->      USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
        USE_AUTOMAKE=YES        ->      USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14

Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.

. Update the fsck_ext2fs wrapper so that it passes -f down the e2fsck

  -v options down, this will only be effective when fsck_ext2fs is run
  directly.

executable under different names and caused waste of space in the binary
package.

The shared e2fsck executable is no longer installed or packaged, saving another
100+ kByte (uncompressed).

User-visible change: e2fsck.static is gone, e2fsck is now the static version,
the pkg-message has tracked this change and been adjusted accordingly.

The patch cuts the FreeBSD-4 i386 binary package size from 2,200 to 1,316 kB
without any loss in functionality.

. Update to a February 24th snapshot (1.35.w20040131.20040224135102).
. Use official "install-libs" target rather than try to install things
  with a custom post-install target.
. Add a note to pkg-message that we're using a modified copy.

- e2fsck now handles SIGINFO (Ctrl+T): print progress bar once
- Bugfix: fsck_ext2fs would abort the boot when run as part of
  /etc/rc and e2fsck had repaired a file system. fsck_ext2fs
  now maps exit codes 0 to 3 from e2fsck to 0. If e2fsck is
  aborted by a signal or an exit code of 4 or higher, maps to
  EXIT_FAILURE.

- fix IEEE violation/SIGFPE abort on alpha that failed the f_crashdisk test
  (patch by Greg Lewis)
- fix compile failure on FreeBSD 5 when older port version is installed
  (problem reported by Tim Robbins; FreeBSD 4 was unaffected)
- ignore m_large_file test on alpha and sparc64, apparently the test
  only stumbles over a different default block size and the failure
  isn't serious (problem reported by Greg Lewis)
- cosmetic: swap $(CC) and gmake check in post-build so check comes last
- bump PORTREVISION: the patches change the code on some systems

- pkg-message.in:
  * use install when ln fails, /sbin and /usr/local
    need not be the same file system
  * tell the user he needs to repeat the steps after port upgrade
- revise pkg-message generation and move it to pre-install,
  no need to cat(1) the file, sed(1) can read files by itself.
- add pkg-deinstall: remind the user to remove e2fsck and fsck_ext2fs from
  /sbin if he's deinstalling for good, rather than upgrading.
