Hi all,

This patchset addresses snags that I hit while adopting erofs for our
system images.

 - The first patch is really just setting a baseline for the next two.

 - The second patch is improving the --help text to address the snag
   that I had to read the source code to understand how to use the
   mkfs.erofs `-z` flag, and also setting the stage for the third
   patch.  In doing this I broadly improved the --help text overall,
   not just for mkfs.erofs.

 - The third patch is adding no-op `-a`, `-A`, and `-y` flags to
   fsck.erofs, to address the snag that I was seeing errors in the
   boot scroll.

I didn't touch erofsfuse in any of these, not because it isn't worthy
of the changes from the first two patches, just that I decided it
would have been too much work at the moment.

Luke T. Shumaker (3):
  erofs-utils: have each non-fuse command take -h, --help, -V, and
    --version
  erofs-utils: improve the usage and version text of non-fuse commands
  erofs-utils: fsck: Add -a, -A, and -y flags
