Fixes for minor issues with File System Support rescanning

Mike Fleetwood requested to merge mfleetwo/gparted:rescan into master

One recently introduced by me and one even more minor that has been there forever.

  1. File System Support dialog not showing changes after rescan

Open the File System Support dialog, either add or remove some file system specific commands used by GParted and press the [Rescan For Supported Actions] button. The supported actions don't change. However after closing and opening the dialog, but not pressing the [Rescan For Support Actions] button, the supported actions do reflect the added or removed file system specific commands.

Bisected to this commit: 4d6d4646 Display "other" in the File System Support dialog (!13 (merged))

  1. Available Partition menu options not updated on rescan

Select a partition and look at the available actions in the Partition menu. Then add or remove some commands which that particular file system uses and rescan to detect those changes. Open the Partition menu again. It doesn't reflect the changes of supported actions seen in the File System Support dialog. Select a different partition and then select the original partition again. Now the available actions in the Partition menu reflect the changes of supported actions.

Have been testing by adding and removing /sbin/e2label to add and remove EXT2/3/4 file system labelling support just because that feature has existed for a very long time and EXT2/3/4 are displayed near the top of the File System Support dialog. Tested this minor issue existed as far back as GParted 0.3.7.
