wic uses debugfs to write on ext* partitions, but debugfs can only
write to the current working directory and it cannot copy complete
directory trees. Running 'wic ls' on a copied directory show this:
    -l: Ext2 inode is not a directory

Fix this by creating a command list for debugfs (-f parameter) when
recursive parsing the host directory in order to create a similar
directory structure (mkdir) and copy files (write) on each level
into the destination directory from the wic's ext* partition.

Extend the wic selftests to cover recursive directory copying
into ext partitions.

Previously, copying a directory into an ext partition could
appear to succeed, but attempting to access the directory
contents would fail with:

  -l: Ext2 inode is not a directory

This was fixed in commit 4fc3b42774 ("wic/engine: fix copying
directories into wic image with ext* partition").

This test now verifies that directories copied with "wic cp"
into an ext4 partition:
  - are created with correct inode types
  - can be listed recursively with "wic ls"
  - preserve files and subdirectories
  - can be copied back out of the image without data loss

A simple directory structure is used in this test:

wic-test-cp-ext-dir/
├── topfile.txt
└── subdir/
    └── subfile.txt
