1. fix write_zeros() per Jim's comments.

3. change the signature of open_extent_scan() from
"void open_extent_scan(struct extent_scan **scan)" to

to malloc the extent_scan variable; instead save it on the stack.
4. move close_extent_scan() from a function defined in extent-scan.c

5. add a macro "free_extents_info()" defined at extent-scan.h to

maint: generate much of the THANKS file
Before this change, we had a tendency to manually list each
contributor's name in THANKS. Now, each commit "Author" is
included in the generated THANKS file automatically, and most
of the old THANKS file is now a template, THANKS.in.
We'll still have to manually list the names of people who report
problems without a usable patch.

those who are listed as git log 'Author:'s.

maint: allow gettext 0.17 again
Commit
041c9c47 traded the 'gettext' module for the lighter 'gettext-h'
module, so as to not require the latest gettext release (we only need
the latest release if we ship gettext as a dependent library, but
coreutils has long preferred to use it as an external library).
But that commit overlooked two places necessary to allow the use of
gettext 0.17.
This does not force you to downgrade (using gettext 0.18.1.1 is still
just fine), nor does it affect tarballs (once a tarball is built
with a given gettext version, it can be built on other machines
regardless of what gettext version is present).
* bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Relax prerequisite.
* configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Likewise.
