[ClusterLabs] gfs2-utils 3.4.0 released

Hi all,

A small yet significant release this time. gfs2 support for fs format 
1802 has been merged into the upstream kernel in the 5.12 merge window, 
so this release keeps gfs2-utils current with that development. Format 
1802 adds support for 'trusted.*' xattrs in gfs2 and enables the 
'rgrplvb' feature by default.

When gfs2-utils is built against a gfs2_ondisk.h kernel header that 
defines the fs format as 1802, mkfs.gfs2 will now create filesystems 
with that format by default. This can be overriden using the '-o 
format=1801' option. tunegfs2 can also now upgrade a filesystem to this 
format and fsck.gfs2 recognises it too.

Other than that, we have a sprinkling of cleanups and bug fixes, and the 
unit tests have been restructured. The full list of changes is below.

Grab the release tarball from:

Cheers,
Andy
