Btrfs-progs: add skinny metadata support to progs V3
This fixes up the progs to properly deal with skinny metadata. This adds the -x
option to mkfs and btrfstune for enabling the skinny metadata option. This also
makes changes to fsck so it can properly deal with the skinny metadata entries.
Thanks,
