As proposed in "[PATCH] udev-extraconf: Allow optionally skipping
systemd-fsck" [1] on this mailing list we adjusted the `fsck.vfat` exit
codes to conform to those specified in the `fsck` manpage.

The first patch modifies all the exit calls coming from `fsck.vfat` to
conform with what is specified by `fsck`. Because dosfstools shares code
between its tools, the exit codes of mkfs.vfat and fatlabel changed,
too. To our knowledge these tools do not have a specific meaning in
their exit codes besides success or failure.

The second patch updates the fsck.fat manpage to document the new exit
codes.

The patches have been submitted upstream on the project's GitHub [2].
After more than two weeks there has been no (maintainer) feedback yet.
