why dont we unify these random hardcoded paths. mkfs has one, fsck has a
similar one, and mount has a completely different one. so for the configure
options, we can do:
--with-fs-paths-default=paths default search path for fs helpers
default=/sbin:/sbin/fs.d:/sbin/fs:/etc/fs:/etc
--with-fs-paths-extra=paths extra search paths for fs helpers
default=<none>
since in my case i merely want to append /usr/sbin to the default
also, mkfs searches via exec while fsck and mount explicitly parse the paths,
so the latter two can easily be unified here.
