[PATCH V2] xfsprogs: suggest "-d" option for repair of RO mount

[Eric Sandeen]

We can offer the suggestion of a "-d" repair, if we're
in single-user mode with i.e. the root fs mounted readonly.

This change suggests -d to repair any RO mounted fs.

e2fsck allows this, and users are used to being able to
do it in single-user mode.  A separate patch will recommend
a reboot after repair completes.
