This patch adds support for 4:1 rectangular blocks to various common data arrays, and adds new partition types to the EXT_PARTITION_TYPES experiment which will use them. This patch has the following restrictions, which can be lifted in future patches: * ext-partition-types is incompatible with fp_mb_stats and supertx for the moment * Currently only 32x32 superblocks can use the new partition types There's a slightly odd restriction about when we allow PARTITION_HORZ_4 or PARTITION_VERT_4. Since these both live in the EXT_PARTITION_TYPES CDF, read_partition() can only return them if both has_rows and has_cols is true. This means that at least half of the width and height of the block must be visible. It might be nice to relax that restriction but that would imply a change to how we encode partition types, which seems already to be in a state of flux, so maybe it's better to wait until that has settled down.
