Explain which valid block sizes mke2fs supports in more detail.

Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
Should this mention that the default block size is 4096 bytes for most
filesystems?
That would be to the "heuristic" parts. Yes, I agree, I'll add that.

It might mention e.g. ppc64 or aarch64 can use 64KB page size, but this
is definitely an improvement already.
Yeah, I can add that to the "page size" part. But with these archs there's
a catch that page size can be configured in the kernel config so the
formulation will need to be a bit more careful. But I'll add something.

Thanks! I'll send v2.
Did you ever send a v2 of this patch?  I can't seem to find it in my
archives or in patchwork.

Thanks!!
