[PATCH] mke2fs: add discard to default mke2fs.conf and disable by default

[Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>]

Discard is a very big hammer.  If it succeeds, there's no undo
or going back; on the other hand, on some devices the giant discard
issued at mkfs time makes them go offline.  :(

Although I'm reluctant to waffle back and forth on default behavior,
I think this disabling it by default the prudent thing to do.

This patch also adds the discard option into the default mke2fs.conf
file; although it could be set, it was not in the template.

If disabling by default isn't desired, we should at least include
the mke2fs.conf.in change (set to 1).

Thanks,
-Eric
