In some distributions, __u64 is already defined in system header files,
causing compilation errors when building xfstest.

        # make
            [CC]    ext4_resize
        ext4_resize.c:17:28: error: conflicting types for '__u64'
         typedef unsigned long long __u64;
                                    ^~~~~
        In file included from /usr/include/asm/types.h:26:0,
                         from /usr/include/linux/types.h:5,
                         from /usr/include/linux/mount.h:4,
                         from /usr/include/sys/mount.h:32,
                         from ext4_resize.c:15:
        /usr/include/asm-generic/int-l64.h:30:23: note: previous declaration of '__u64' was here
         typedef unsigned long __u64;
                       ^~~~~

To address this issue, configure.ac now checks for the presence and
compilability of <linux/ext4.h>. If found and compilable, the macro
HAVE_LINUX_EXT4_H is defined. The commit also updates src/ext4_resize.c
to conditionally include <linux/ext4.h> based on the presence of the
header, ensuring compatibility with systems where ext4.h is either
present or not. Also include <linux/types.h> which gets __u64
definition on systems where ext4.h is not present. This change
enhances the configure process and improves code consistency.

The changes were tested on various distributions on Power
architecture, by successfully compiling xfstest. Additionally,
verified the compatibility by running ext4/033 and ext4/056
tests, both of which use ext4_resize and observed successful
test execution.

        # make
            [CC]    detached_mounts_propagation
            [CC]    ext4_resize
            [CC]    t_readdir_3

Changelog:
v2 -> v3
Addressed below review comments from Darrick.
Replaced the explicit AC_COMPILE_IFELSE block with a simplified
check using AC_CHECK_HEADERS for <linux/ext4.h>.
Added unconditional inclusion of <linux/types.h> regardless of
the presence of <linux/ext4.h> in ext4_resize.c file.

v1 -> v2
Drop usage of uint64_t to match the definition in the kernel uapi
headers. Use <linux/ext4.h> or <linux/types.h> based on the
presence of the header to get the __u64 definition as suggested
by Darrick.

<cough> Quoting the autoconf documentation
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.61/html_node/Generic-Headers.html

 — Macro: AC_CHECK_HEADERS (header-file..., [action-if-found], [action-if-not-found], [includes = `default-includes'])

    For each given system header file header-file in the blank-separated
argument list that exists, define HAVE_header-file (in all capitals)...
