block: add max_active_zones to blk-sysfs
Add a new max_active zones definition in the sysfs documentation. This definition will be common for all devices utilizing the zoned block device support in the kernel. Export max_active_zones according to this new definition for NVMe Zoned Namespace devices, ZAC ATA devices (which are treated as SCSI devices by the kernel), and ZBC SCSI devices. Add the new max_active_zones member to struct request_queue, rather than as a queue limit, since this property cannot be split across stacking drivers. For SCSI devices, even though max active zones is not part of the ZBC/ZAC spec, export max_active_zones as 0, signifying "no limit".
