[PATCH 1/4] dm: Introduce zone append support control

Add the boolean field zone_append_not_supported to the dm_target
structure to allow a target implementing a zoned block device to
explicitly opt out from zone append (REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND) operations
support. When set to true by the target constructor, the target device
queue limit max_zone_append_sectors is set to 0 in
dm_table_set_restrictions() so that users of the target (e.g. file
systems) can detect that the device cannot process zone append
operations.

Detection for the target support of zone append is done similarly to
the detection for other device features such as secure erase, using a
helper function. For zone append, the function
dm_table_supports_zone_append() is defined if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is
enabled.
