This patch changes way too much at one time, and won't apply given
other changes that have been made by Li Xi and myself.

I wouldn't bother adding stuff to modify_inode; that's an old
interface that is extremely awkward to use, and is there because there
might be a few people who might like it.  These days, set_inode_field
is the new interface that is much more flexible and easier to use.

Li Xi has added inode_includes into lib/ext2fs/ext2_fs.h.  I will
probably rename it to ext2fs_inode_includes() just to avoid namespace
collision problems.

Cheers,
