Karel Zak 4fcc033b54 udev-builtin-blkid: add support for --hint offsets
The next libblkid v2.37 is going to support session offsets for
multi-session CD/DVDs. This feature is implemented by "hint offsets".

These offsets are optional and prober specific (e.g., iso, udf, ...).
For this purpose, the library provides a new function
blkid_probe_set_hint(), and blkid(8) provides a new command-line
option --hint <name>=<offset>. For CD/DVD, the offset name is
"session_offset".

The difference between classic --offset and the new --hint is that
--offset is very restrictive and defines the probing area and the rest
of the device is invisible to the library. The new --hint works
like a suggestion, it provides a hint where the user assumes the
filesystem, but the rest of the device is still readable for the
library (for example, to get some additional superblock information
etc.).

If the --hint is without a value then it defaults to zero.

The option --hint implementation in udev-builtin-blkid.c is backwardly
compatible. If compiled against old libblkid, then the option is used in
the same way as --offset.
