I have updates for genext2fs and genimage!

Newer versions of the genext2fs tool have support for things like
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, and Guix seems keen on reproducible builds, so Guix
may as well have the latest and greatest genext2fs!

Updating genext2fs triggered test suite failures in genimage, which I
also noticed was a slightly out of date... so updated that too!

Will submit the patches once I get a bug number... (that's really how
this is supposed to be done still?)


live well,

I have seen instructions for adding features using tune2fs after the
fact to make it ext3 or ext4 ... or other arbitrary features (though not
all can be) and who knows how that will affect the reproducibility of
the image!
