    e2fsprogs: add supported file attributes to ext4.5 manpage
    
    The chattr(1) manpage now refers users to filesystem-specific
    manpages for details on supported attributes, so add those to
    ext4.5.
    
    I've left out oddities like being able to set the compressed
    or no-tail-packing flags, or setting data journaling on ext2.
    
    That behavior seems like a bug, not a feature.
