While MFS failing to do I/O on a block is generally fatal, reading
the superblock at mount time is an exception: this case may occur
when the given partition is too small to contain the superblock.
Therefore, MFS should not crash or even report anything in this
case, but rather refuse to mount cleanly.
This fixes#121.

This patch changes the prefetch API so that file systems must now
provide a set of block numbers, rather than a set of buffers. The
result is a leaner and more well-defined API; linear computation of
the range of blocks to prefetch; duplicates no longer interfering
with the prefetch process; guaranteed inclusion of the block needed
next into the prefetch range; and, limits and policy decisions better
established by libminixfs now actually being moved into libminixfs.

This patch changes the libminixfs API and implementation such that the
library is at all times aware of how many total and used blocks there
are in the file system. This removes the last upcall of libminixfs
into file systems (fs_blockstats). In the process, make this part of
the libminixfs API a little prettier and more robust. Change file
systems accordingly. Since this change only adds to MFS being unable
to deal with zones and blocks having different sizes, fail to mount
such file systems immediately rather than triggering an assert later.
