shared/032 is broken on Fedora

This is not the proper patch just to show a working version for Fedora. But I think
it now breaks the other ARCHs.

What happens is that the output of ${MKFS_PROG}.* is:
	/usr/sbin/mkfs.bfs /usr/sbin/mkfs.btrfs /usr/sbin/mkfs.cramfs /usr/sbin/mkfs.ext2 /usr/sbin/mkfs.ext3 /usr/sbin/mkfs.ext4 ...

So in Fedora sbin has moved to /usr/... and therefor the sed below fails.
My sed foo is not good enough. How to support both places for sbin?

Also why the "_supported_fs xfs btrfs"? So if all those other mkfs.* that are destructive to
foreign filesystem, should the test not fail instead of skipped?
Maybe if the maintainers of all these filesystems day in and day out running xfstests and
see shared/032 failing, they might decide to fix their evil ways. Instead of skipping the
test and the said maintainer just ignores it?

Thanks
Boaz
