mke2fs: set upper limit to flex_bg count

mke2fs -G option allows root user to set flex_bg count (power of 2).
However ext4 has bad metadata layout if we specify more than or equal to
2^32 to mke2fs -G, because of the 32bit shift operation
in ext2fs_allocate_group_table().

And the maximum block group count of ext4 is 2^32 -1 (ext4_group_t
s_groups_count), so diallow more than 2^32 flex_bg count.

Steps to reproduce:

   # mke2fs -t ext4 -G 4294967296 DEV

   # dumpe2fs DEV
   ...
   Flex block group size:    1          <----- flex_bg is 1!
   ...
   Group 0: (Blocks 0-32767)
     Checksum 0x4afd, unused inodes 7541
     Primary superblock at 0, Group descriptors at 1-1
     Reserved GDT blocks at 2-59
     Block bitmap at 60 (+60), Inode bitmap at 61 (+61)
     Inode table at 62-533 (+62)
     32228 free blocks, 7541 free inodes, 2 directories, 7541 unused inodes
     Free blocks: 540-32767
     Free inodes: 12-7552
   Group 1: (Blocks 32768-65535) [INODE_UNINIT]
     Checksum 0xc890, unused inodes 7552
     Backup superblock at 32768, Group descriptors at 32769-32769
     Reserved GDT blocks at 32770-32827
     Block bitmap at 32828 (+60), Inode bitmap at 32829 (+61)
     Inode table at 32830-33301 (+62)
     32234 free blocks, 7552 free inodes, 0 directories, 7552 unused inodes
     Free blocks: 33302-65535
