dm table: add zoned block devices validation

1) Introduce DM_TARGET_ZONED_HM feature flag:

The target drivers currently available will not operate correctly if a
table target maps onto a host-managed zoned block device.

To avoid problems, introduce the new feature flag DM_TARGET_ZONED_HM to
allow a target to explicitly state that it supports host-managed zoned
block devices.  This feature is checked for all targets in a table if
any of the table's block devices are host-managed.

Note that as host-aware zoned block devices are backward compatible with
regular block devices, they can be used by any of the current target
types.  This new feature is thus restricted to host-managed zoned block
devices.

2) Check device area zone alignment:

If a target maps to a zoned block device, check that the device area is
aligned on zone boundaries to avoid problems with REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET
operations (resetting a partially mapped sequential zone would not be
possible).  This also facilitates the processing of zone report with
REQ_OP_ZONE_REPORT bios.

3) Check block devices zone model compatibility

When setting the DM device's queue limits, several possibilities exists
for zoned block devices:
1) The DM target driver may want to expose a different zone model
(e.g. host-managed device emulation or regular block device on top of
host-managed zoned block devices)
2) Expose the underlying zone model of the devices as-is

To allow both cases, the underlying block device zone model must be set
in the target limits in dm_set_device_limits() and the compatibility of
all devices checked similarly to the logical block size alignment.  For
this last check, introduce validate_hardware_zoned_model() to check that
all targets of a table have the same zone model and that the zone size
of the target devices are equal.
