block: Add 'zoned' queue limit

Add the zoned queue limit to indicate the zoning model of a block device.
Defined values are 0 (BLK_ZONED_NONE) for regular block devices,
1 (BLK_ZONED_HA) for host-aware zone block devices and 2 (BLK_ZONED_HM)
for host-managed zone block devices. The standards defined drive managed
model is not defined here since these block devices do not provide any
command for accessing zone information. Drive managed model devices will
be reported as BLK_ZONED_NONE.

The helper functions blk_queue_zoned_model and bdev_zoned_model return
the zoned limit and the functions blk_queue_is_zoned and bdev_is_zoned
return a boolean for callers to test if a block device is zoned.

The zoned attribute is also exported as a string to applications via
sysfs. BLK_ZONED_NONE shows as "none", BLK_ZONED_HA as "host-aware" and
BLK_ZONED_HM as "host-managed".

Description:
zoned indicates if the device is a zoned block device
and the zone model of the device if it is indeed zoned.
The possible values indicated by zoned are "none" for
regular block devices and "host-aware" or "host-managed"
for zoned block devices. The characteristics of
host-aware and host-managed zoned block devices are
described in the ZBC (Zoned Block Commands) and ZAC
(Zoned Device ATA Command Set) standards. These standards
also define the "drive-managed" zone model. However,
since drive-managed zoned block devices do not support
zone commands, they will be treated as regular block
devices and zoned will report "none".
