Filesystem: refactor, improvements, add tests (#25519)

* filesystem: list used tools

* filesystem: btrfs and reiserfs don't support resizing

* filesystem: list supported filesystems

use formatting functions and 'filesystem' instead of 'file system'

* filesystem: PEP8

* filesystem: remove useless calls to module.boolean

* filesystem: fail when the requested action isn't implemented

* filesystem: resizefs: list supported FS rather than unsupported

* filesystem: refactor

* filesystem: add integration tests

* filesystem: allow to use image file with 'dev' param

* filesystem: test resizefs (ext2/3/4 filesystems only)

* filesystem: Btrfs, handle older version than v0.20-rc1

* filesystem: use loop keyword (integration tests)

* filesystem: new test, check when another filesystem already exists

* filesystem: add myself as a maintainer

* filesystem: fix tests as filters
