Filesystems implementing copy-on-write are usually supported by the kernel
from a certain version. This is the case of XFS which carried an
experimental support for CoW from 4.9 until 4.16.
At the same time, some mkfs tools might not support CoW before a certain
version. This is the case of mkfs.xfs < 1.5.0.

For these reasons, this LTP patch series is meant to cover a particular
scenario, where kernel and mkfs tools versions have to be cross-checked
in order to run ioctl_ficlone(range) tests.

Two new flags have been added to the tst_fs struct:
- mkfs_ver: test the mkfs tool version before using it and eventually
  skip test if it's not satisfied
- min_kver: test the minimum kernel version and skip the test if running
  kernel is too old
