zloop divides the requested capacity by the zone size to determine the
number of zones. Since it uses one zone size for all zones, a smaller last
zone is not supported and an unaligned capacity is rounded down.
The capacity_mb description incorrectly states that the capacity is rounded
up. Correct it to document the actual behavior.

The size of a sequential zone backing file records the amount of data
written and is used to restore the zone state. A backing file whose size
is equal to the zone capacity is restored as a full zone, while a file
larger than the zone capacity is rejected as invalid.
However, zloop_finish_zone() currently truncates the backing file to the
zone size. For devices with a reduced zone capacity, finishing a zone
therefore creates a backing file larger than the zone capacity. After the
device is removed and later re-added, that zone file is rejected instead
of being restored as a full zone.
Truncate finished sequential zones to the zone capacity, matching the
persistent representation accepted by zloop_update_seq_zone() for a full
zone.

Introduce the new max_open_zones option to allow specifying a limit on
the maximum number of open zones of a zloop device. This change allows
creating a zloop device that can more closely mimick the characteristics
of a physical SMR drive.
When set to a non zero value, only up to max_open_zones zones can be in
the implicit open (BLK_ZONE_COND_IMP_OPEN) and explicit open
(BLK_ZONE_COND_EXP_OPEN) conditions at any time. The transition to the
implicit open condition of a zone on a write operation can result in an
implicit close of an already implicitly open zone. This is handled in
the function zloop_do_open_zone(). This function also handles
transitions to the explicit open condition. Implicit close transitions
are handled using an LRU ordered list of open zones which is managed
using the helper functions zloop_lru_rotate_open_zone() and
zloop_lru_remove_open_zone().

Add a new options that causes zloop to truncate the zone files to the
write pointer value recorded at the last cache flush to simulate
unclean shutdowns.

zone_capacity_mb when creating devices
The "zone_capacity=%umb" option is no longer used. The effective option
is now "zone_capacity_mb=%u", so update the documentation accordingly.

Introduce the zoned_loop.rst documentation file under
admin-guide/blockdev to document the zoned loop block device driver.
An overview of the driver is provided and its usage to create and delete
zoned devices described.
