Subject: [PATCH] [FEAT LS1501] dasdfmt: Add new formatting modes
From: Jan Höppner <hoeppner@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Summary:     dasdfmt: Add new formatting modes
Description: Introduce new formatting modes 'quick' and 'expand' to either
             format an earlier formatted DASD that could potentially be
             re-initialized very easily or format unformatted tracks at the
             end of a device that was previously extended.

Also add the command line argument --check to provide a function
             that checks a DASD volume for correct formatting.
Upstream-ID: -
Problem-ID:  LS1501

Upstream-Description:

dasdfmt: Add expand format mode

If a DASD was extended, the format of the first part of the disk
             can be assumed to be correct. Usually, a full format would be necessary
             to ensure a fully functional disk. However, this would also format
             the already formatted part resulting in the loss of the data stored in
             that part.

Add an expand mode which will search for the start of the unformatted
             area and begin formatting from there.

The mode is being specified by --mode=expand (or -M expand for short).

Furthermore:
             - Add string array for the individual modes for output purposes
             - Avoid writing labels when EXPAND mode is active since they can be
               assumed to be correct
             - Add man page description
