Adds project quota support for ext4

This patch adds mount options for enabling/disabling project quota
accounting and enforcement. A new specific inode is also used for
project quota accounting.

Does it make sense to check for the PROJINHERIT flag, or only if
the inode has a non-zero project quota?  I thought it is possible to
have project quota on an inode that is not marked to be inherited?
This is trying to keep the same semantics with XFS. XFS returns
the project quota limits when statfs only if the inode has PROJINHERIT
flag. I think it is reasonable, since when a directory has PROJINHERIT,
the directory tree tend to has the same project ID.

What is the benefit of this warning message?  Would it be better to
return the fs-wide statfs() data if the project quota is not found?
Yeah, that is exactly what statfs() is doing in current codes. statfs()
will first get the fs-wide data, and then try to get project data. Even
it fails to get project data, it will return successfully with fs-wide
data. Anyway, I will remove this message. :)
