xfs: document zoned rt specifics in admin-guide

Browse source 
Document the lifetime, nolifetime and max_open_zones mount options
added for zoned rt file systems.

Also add documentation describing the max_open_zones sysfs attribute
exposed in /sys/fs/xfs/<dev>/zoned/

lifetime (default) or nolifetime
Enable data placement based on write life time hints provided
by the user. This turns on co-allocation of data of similar
life times when statistically favorable to reduce garbage
collection cost.
These options are only available for zoned rt file systems.
logbsize=value
Set the size of each in-memory log buffer. The size may be
specified in bytes, or in kilobytes with a "k" suffix.

section or contained within it.
max_open_zones=value
Specify the max number of zones to keep open for writing on a
zoned rt device. Many open zones aids file data separation
but may impact performance on HDDs.
If ``max_open_zones`` is not specified, the value is determined
by the capabilities and the size of the zoned rt device.

=================
For zoned file systems, the following attribute is exposed in:
/sys/fs/xfs/<dev>/zoned/
max_open_zones (Min: 1 Default: Varies Max: UINTMAX)
This read-only attribute exposes the maximum number of open zones
available for data placement. The value is determined at mount time and
is limited by the capabilities of the backing zoned device, file system
size and the max_open_zones mount option.
