Libguestfs - Nov 2019 - [v2v PATCH] v2v: require 100 availabe inodes on each filesystem (RHBZ#1764569)

Enough free space in a filesystem does not imply available inodes to
create/modify files on that filesystem.  Hence, require at least 100
available inodes on filesystems that can provide inode counts.

Looks good to me, however it does need the documentation updated here:

https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-v2v/blob/master/docs/virt-v2v.pod#free-space-in-the-guest

ACK with docs updated.

I have a script I use for making the release notes that picks the
RHBZ# string from the subject, so this would have to be changed if we
changed this:
