Mike Fleetwood 795a92f5b2 Add file system specific remove() methods (#670171)
This commit only adds a remove() method to every file system and an
optional call to it in the relevant operations.  All remove() methods
are no operations and not enabled.

The remove() method provides explicit controlled removal of a file
system before the partition is deleted or overwritten by being formatted
or pasted into.  When implemented, it appears as an extra step in the
relevant operation.  The file system specific remove() method is
explicitly allowed to fail and stop the operations currently being
applied.

This is different to the existing erase_filesystem_signatures() which
wipes any previous file system signatures immediately before a new file
system is written to ensure there is no possibility of the partition
containing two or more different file system signatures.  It never fails
or reports anything to the user.

NOTE:
Most file systems should NOT implement a remove() method as it will
prevent recovery from accidental partition deletion.

Rogier Goossens 9e96159bb2 Add support for setting UUID (#667278)
Add the ability to set a new random UUID on file systems that provide
the appropriate tools to perform this action.

Update the help manual to include this new functionality.  Also add
reference links to "setting a partition label" and "changing a
partition UUID" in the "copying and pasting a partition" section.

This patch does not include setting the UUID on an NTFS file system.

Curtis Gedak 8cfb27b718 Cleanup file copyright entries
Restore copyright entries by original author to those of his last
known repository commit titled "released gparted-0.3.4 on
LarryT's request." on Feb 25, 2007.

Add my own copyright entries for files in which I changed source
code.  Files in which I only made spelling changes do not have my
copyright entry added.

  It's simply a matter of finding the right commands and parsing the

  Also, libparted isn't able to detect reiser4 yet, a patch to fix this is underway, but i should probably add reiser4 detection to gparted as well.
