Khem Raj aecd8432d0 exfatprogs: upgrade 1.4.1 -> 1.4.2
Upstream changes (NEWS):
 * dump.exfat: prevent a heap buffer overflow in name parsing.
 * Install lsdosattr and chdosattr in /bin instead of /sbin (covered by
   the default FILES:${PN}, so packaging is unaffected).
 * libexfat: use __builtin_popcountl() throughout and add an internal
   exfat_count_used_clusters() helper (static lib, no ABI impact).

No dependency or build-system changes; configure.ac is unchanged, so
DEPENDS and the ptest install steps stay as-is.

While enabling the ptest image (meta-filesystems-image-ptest-exfatprogs)
on qemux86-64, the upcase_table test cases (present since 1.4.0, so this
is a pre-existing failure now exercised) failed because they used
`truncate` and `xxd -r - <file>`, which are unavailable in a BusyBox
core-image-minimal rootfs:

  truncate: command not found
  FAIL: to create corrupted image

Add 0001-tests-upcase_table-use-dd-printf-instead-of-truncate.patch,
which rewrites those scripts to size the image with dd and poke the
corrupted bytes with printf|dd (tools already present in the base
image). ptest result on qemux86-64 is now 23 of 23 passing.

I. Adding the filesystems layer to your build

In order to use this layer, you need to make the build system aware of it.

Assuming the filesystems layer exists at the top-level of your yocto build tree, you can add it to the build system by adding the location of the filesystems layer to bblayers.conf, along with any other layers needed. e.g.:

BBLAYERS ?= "
/path/to/yocto/meta
/path/to/yocto/meta-oe
/path/to/yocto/meta-filesystems
"
