libext2fs: make fs->group_desc opaque
To prevent direct array indexing of fs->group_desc[i] (because the
group_desc may be a different size for different filesystems) make it
an opaque pointer that may only be accessed through the accessor
functions in blknum.c. The type itself is still available in a public
header; if we have a group_desc that we know is one type or another,
it's ok to access its fields directly. This change only prevents us
from indexing off fs->group_desc[i] directly.
Old-style applications who don't want to change their source code can
(as a temporary short-term hack) #define EXT2FS_OLD_32_COMPAT before
including ext2fs.h.
Change the accessors in blknum.c to use ext4fs_group_desc(), a version
of ext2fs_group_desc() which returns a ext4_group_desc pointer.
This simplifies and collapses a fair bit of code in blknum.c
