* blkid(8) in low-level mode probes for PT now (blkid is replacement
for devkit-disks-part-id)
* add ID_PART_TABLE_TYPE=<name> to blkid(8) udev output
* don't probe for FS/RAIDs on small devices when PT is detected

UI tools that read information from udev need a way how inform users
about ambivalent probing result (more valid filesystems on the
device).
This patch add a new ID_FS_AMBIVALENT variable:
ID_FS_AMBIVALENT=<info> <info> [ ...]
where <info> is:
<usage>:<type>[:<version>]
all strings are encoded (white spaces and utf8 are replaced with \hex).
For example:
# blkid -p -o udev /dev/sda1
ID_FS_AMBIVALEN=filesystem:vfat:FAT12 other:swap:2

... sad story, I have temporary disabled pretty-output code
in very early version of blkid.c in u-l-ng. (It was also in
time when pretty-output was very new feature in e2fsprogs.)
Unfortunately, the -L option (shortcut to "-o list") in u-l-ng version
was reused for for any other functionality few months later.... this
stupid thing was released in u-l-ng 2.15 and 2.16 without any negative
feedback from users.
It means the blkid from u-l-ng is not backwardly compatible with
the original version from e2fsprogs. The -L option has a different
meaning there.
I'm sorry about this bug...
This patch:
* enable pretty-output (-o line)
* add a note about incompatibility between u-l-ng and e2fsprogs
to blkid.8 man page

The others utilities are in one of the top-level directories. That's
confusing to have blkid(8) and findfs(8) in shlibs/ tree.
