mke2fs: print a message when creating a regular file
We've added the ability to automatically recreate a file if it doesn't exist prior to creating the file system, since this is often used (for example) when managing file system images for use in virtual machines. We should at least notify the user that this is going on to avoid surprises in the case of misspelled device/file names. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
