This is the only missing part in struct statvfs.
The LSB calls [f]statfs() deprecated, and its weird types are definitely
off-putting. However, its use is required to get f_type.

Instead, allocate one of the six spares to f_type,
copied directly from struct statfs.
This then becomes a small glibc extension to the standard interface
on Linux and the Hurd, instead of two different interfaces, one of which
is quite odd due to being an ABI type, and there no longer is any reason
to use statfs().

The underlying kernel type is a mess, but all architectures agree on u32
(or more) for the ABI, and all filesystem magicks are 32-bit integers.

I think the caller can check for f_type being zero to check if it has
been written by glibc, so this does not require a new symbol version.
The previous already initializes __f_spare to zero, and none of the
magic values in <linux/magic.h> are zero.

This should perhaps have a NEWS entry, though, and a test case.

Thanks,
Florian
