[Libguestfs] [PATCH] Add -f option to resize2fs -P in vfs_minimum_size.

Sometimes the user wants to know minimum size
for dirty (e.g. mounted) filesystems. In this case,
resize2fs -P will require calling e2fsck -f, while
"in general, it is not safe to run e2fsck on mounted filesystems".

Since resize2fs -P does not modify filesystem, we force it
to display (probably approximate) minimum size.
