I set this up to call _fatal early if the tools are not the patched
versions.

Using -X on mkfs.hfsplus forces the size to be a whole number of blocks,
and using -X on fsck makes it work under that assumption.  This is briefly
explained in the patched man page for the tools.

It's a workaround needed because hfsplus only stores the number of
allocation blocks in the volume header.  If the device size is not a
multiple of the block size, the backup header will be past the end, and
fsck will take that as corruption.

Of course I could let the patched fsck use the -X flag by default.  But
that could be dangerous if somebody accidentally uses it to check an
important filesystem.

I always use -X on mkfs so the tests will complain if the size of the
device is not a whole number of blocks.  Otherwise the tests would later
fail on fsck.

Maybe I should check for -X support when setting the FSCK_OPTIONS, and in
_scratch_mkfs()?  Then _fatal would not be necessary.

This is so the tests will complain if the device size is not a multiple
of the block size.  I think I explained it in the patched man page for
mkfs.hfsplus, but it may be better to put a comment here.
