Mike Fleetwood 03e89b1289 Add support for minix file system (!12)
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].

    "MINIX 3 uses Minix File System (MFS).  More precisely MFS V3."
