dosfstools: Use standard fsck exit codes

This commit brings in `dosfstools` patches to make `fsck.vfat` exit
codes adhere to the standard exit codes defined by `fsck`. See [1].

These will fix the interaction of `fsck.vfat` with other tools like
`systemd-fsck` which expect the exit codes to be in line with the
standard [2].

However, as of today the dosfstools maintainer(s) are invisible for over
a year [3]. Thus, if upstream ever becomes active again, these patches
should be reassessed.

Subject: [PATCH] fsck.fat: Adhere to the fsck exit codes
fsck.fat is used as a filesystem-specific checker for the `fsck`. This
also causes `fsck` to return the same exit-codes given by `fsck.fat`.
In most cases this is already the case. One exception to that comes when
checking a read-only filesystem. In that case `fsck.fat` will return 6,
which for `fsck` means "Fiesystem errors left uncorrected" and "System
should reboot". When a more proper response would be to return 8,
"Operational Error".
This commit solves that problem by introducing a new header file which
standardizes the exit codes used by `fsck.fat`.
