Add support for EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_LAZY_BG
This feature is initially intended for testing purposes; it allows an ext2/ext3 developer to create very large filesystems using sparse files where most of the block groups are not initialized and so do not require much disk space. Eventually it could be used as a way of speeding up mke2fs and e2fsck for large filesystem, but that would be best done by adding an RO_COMPAT extension to the filesystem to allow the inode table to be lazily initialized on a per-block basis, instead of being entirely initialized or entirely unused on a per-blockgroup basis.
