Util-linux package, at least as far back as version 2.23.2 as found on
CentOS 7, provides the mkfs.minix and fsck.minix commands. Also blkid
from the same package, recognises minix file systems.
Create version 3 file systems because MINIX 3 [1] is the only supported
version and that reportedly uses version 3 of the file system [2].

Closes!12 - Add minix file system support
I see the MINIX file system as a kind of forerunner to EXT* because of
it's history [1]. No body uses the original EXT file system any more,
however the MINIX file system is still used by the MINIX 3 operating
system. So use the same range of colours for MINIX and EXT2/3/4. Use
one shade darker blue for EXT2/3/4, allowing MINIX to use the lightest
blue. After adding MINIX support in the next patch, the colours will
become:
MINIX - Blue Hilight
EXT2 - Blue Medium
EXT3 - Blue Dark
EXT4 - Blue Shadow
[1] MINIX file system / History
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MINIX_file_system#History
"When Linus Torvalds first started writing his Linux operating
system kernel (1991), he was working on a machine running MINIX, and
adopted its file system layout. This soon proved problematic, since
MINIX restricted filename lengths to fourteen characters (thirty in
later versions), it limited partitions to 64 megabytes, and the file
system was designed for teaching purposes, not performance. The
Extended file system (ext; April 1992) was developed to replace
MINIX's, but it was only with the second version of this, ext2, that
Linux obtained a commercial-grade file system. As of 1994, the
MINIX file system was "scarcely in use" among Linux users.
"

If an EXT2/3/4 file system needs checking, then resize2fs will report an
error, rather than report the minimum file system size.

This will prevent GParted reading the file system usage and in turn
GParted won't allow the file system to be shrunk. Re-add the previous
method of reading the free space from dumpe2fs output as a fallback.
With this change, the worst case scenario is that GParted allows the
user to attempt to shrink an unclean EXT4 file system, smaller that that
which resize2fs allows and gets an error telling them so. As part of
the failed shrink operation GParted will have checked the file system so
on refresh GParted will get the correct minimum size next time.
This scenario only seems to apply to unclean EXT4 file systems because
resize2fs has a larger minimum size that the free blocks would suggest
because of extra space requirements when resizing EXT4 file systems [1].

Closes#8 - Shrinking an EXT4 partition does not respect resize2fs
limits
A user reported GParted failed to shrink an EXT4 file system because
GParted tried to shrink it smaller than resize2fs reported minimum size.
Operation details were:
Shrink /dev/sdc1 from 931.51 GiB to 605.00 GiB (ERROR)

resize2fs 1.44.2 (14-May-2018)
resize2fs: New size smaller than minimum (171882113)
The GParted figures:
* Partition size = 1953520064 (512b sectors) = 976760032 KiB
* FS size = 244190000 (4K blocks) = 976760000 KiB
* Used FS size = 158165624 (4K blocks) = 632662496 KiB
* Requested FS size = 634389176 KiB
The resize2fs figure:
* Minimum FS size = 171882113 (4K blocks) = 687528452 KiB
GParted uses the number of free blocks in the file system to determine
the minimum size it can shrink a file system to. However resize2fs uses
it's own internally calculated minimum size and won't shrink a file
system below that size, as seen in the above details. Resize2fs does
have a force flag, (-f) which overrides some safety checks which are
normally enforced, to allow it to try to shrink a file system smaller
than it's calculated minimum. GParted currently doesn't use the force
flag and it seems unwise for it to start to do so.
So for unmounted EXT2/3/4 file systems, change GParted to use
'resize2fs -P' to get the minimum file system size, rather than using
the number of free blocks direct from the super block, as reported by
'dumpe2fs -h'.
Mounted file systems still use statvfs() to provide file system usage.
As mounted EXT2/3/4 file systems can't be shrunk the fact that statvfs()
produces different, possibly smaller than minimum, figures than those
from 'resize2fs -P' doesn't matter.
Closes#8 - Shrinking an EXT4 partition does not respect resize2fs
limits
No functional change. Just work in FS block sized units until as late
as possible in ext2::set_used_sectors(), before converting to device
sector size units. This is to make the following change simpler and
easier to understand.

It fails when the scrollkeeper.sourceforge.net site reports that
SourceForge is undergoing maintenance or is temporarily unavailable. I
have seen this occur on 3 separate occasions in the last 4 weeks since I
started experimenting with GitLab CI, which is rather too often.
Xmllint comes from the GNOME 2 gnome-doc-utils.make rules used to build
and validate GNOME 2 documentation.

"You can reproduce the problem in mdbtoools version 0.7.1-1 with no
network, and rarian-compat not installed.
When the network is available, buildd downloads the DTD for checks.
When there is no network, gnome-doc-utils fails.
"
Fix by:
(1) adding the rarian-compat package to the CI Docker images, which
provides a local copy of the scrollkeeper-omf.dtd file;
(2) adding the xmllint --nonet option to prevent fetching of DTDs
remotely.
With reference to earlier commit:
0eb9f1fcfb
Reduce dependency on scrollkeeper (#743318)
That commit allowed GParted to be installed on GNOME 3 desktops without
requiring rarian-compat package to be installed. This commit adds
rarian-compat to the CI images so that 'make check' can succeed without
accessing the Internet. Just the intricate path to continue to build
and test a GNOME 2 application in a world of GNOME 3 desktops with
beginning to be reduced backward compatibility.

Closes!6 - Reduce the time taken by the GitLab CI jobs
Reduce the time taken by the GitLab Continuous Integration jobs by
parallelising make to use all available CPUs in the Docker CI image
when it is building GParted code. This includes 'make diskcheck'
because that also does a second build of the GParted code in a separate
subdirectory.

The CUSTOM_TEXT enumeration is exclusively used as the type of one of
the parameters to the functions get_generic_text() and get_custom_text()
in the FileSystem class and derived classes. The definition of the
enumeration therefore belongs in FileSystem.h. Move it.
This is functionally identical, but is just to follow established coding
pattern [1] of specifying the FSType when constructing struct FS, rather
and setting it afterwards. luks.cc was added after the aforementioned
commit, but was being developed in parallel so was created [2] following
the old coding pattern.

Prepare the GitLab Continuous Integration configuration for also
building and testing GParted on a Ubuntu image. The definition of the
image and before_script, which so far specify the CentOS Docker image
and how to install the required RPM packages, need to move from being
top level nodes to being defined per job. Namely within jobs
'centos_build' and 'centos_test'.
To avoid duplicating various nodes within multiple jobs, YAML anchors
(&LABEL) and references (*LABEL) are used. They are defined in ignored
jobs, job names starting with a dot (.).

So the code is trying to find a symbolic link to a block device to use
in the test. It is trying to read the directory /dev/disk/by-id to find
a symbolic link, but the directory doesn't exist in the Docker CI image.
The used directory was recently changed [1] to use one which existed on
all distributions. Docker images don't even have the /dev/disk
directory. Exclude just this specific test.

Closes!4 - Add GitLab CI jobs to build and test GParted
Recursively list all the files below /dev as part of the 'test' job as
certain block device names are needed by the failing test_BlockSpecial
unit test.
The artifact captures all the files from the directory in which the CI
script runs to build and test GParted. It creates a ZIP file which can
be downloaded after the job finishes, whether the job succeeds of fails.
This is to capture logs from the failure of the test_BlockSpecial unit
test.
Closes!4 - Add GitLab CI jobs to build and test GParted
Add GitLab Continuous Integration job named 'test' which runs the
GParted unit tests and distcheck. Note that the job starts from a fresh
