I don't think e2scrub or e2scrub_all should refuse to run if the system
is on AC power -- if the user runs them from the cli then they shouldn't
have to override that kind of decision to get what they asked for.

However, checking for AC power certainly makes sense for the background
scrubber.  The systemd service description contains a predicate to
disable the service if the system is running on a battery.  However, the
cron job does not, so I will add that.

The trouble with this (all of it, really) is that this clobbers whatever
setting the administrator might have written into the superblock.  Given
that corruption failures will be logged and produce emailed reports, I
wonder if it would be easier to dispense with the force-fsck part
entirely?
