Automatically enable online resize with libparted >= 3.2 (#734076) 

Configure script checks for libparted version >= 3.2 to automatically
determine the availability of online resize capability in libparted.
This can be overridden from the ./configure command line.  Override
enable when an older version of libparted has been patched to include
online resize support with:

    ./configure --enable-online-resize

Override disable with libparted 3.2 or later to disable the feature when
it is not wanted with:

    ./configure --disable-online-resize

Note that GParted also requires, and checks for at runtime, Linux
kernel >= 3.6 for online resize support.  See commit for more details:

If you wish to build this package with online resize support then
the following is required:
a) A version of libparted that includes the online resize patch.
At time of writing (November 2013), this patch was only
included in Debian and derived distros with parted package
version 2.3-14 or higher.
b) Linux kernel version 3.6 or higher.
Enable with the --enable-online-resize flag:
a) Linux kernel version 3.6 or higher.
b) Libparted with online resize support. Either:
i) Libparted version 3.2 or later which includes online
resize support as standard. In this case GParted is
automatically built with online resize support.
ii) Online resize support back ported into an earlier version
of libparted. This is only known to be included in Debian
and derived distributions with parted version 2.3-14 and
higher. In this case online resize support must be
specifically enabled with the --enable-online-resize flag:
E.g., ./configure --enable-online-resize
Please note that more than one configure flag can be used:
