btrfs: disallow space_cache in ZONED mode

As updates to the space cache v1 are in-place, the space cache cannot be
located over sequential zones and there is no guarantees that the device
will have enough conventional zones to store this cache. Resolve this
problem by disabling completely the space cache v1.  This does not
introduce any problems with sequential block groups: all the free space
is located after the allocation pointer and no free space before the
pointer.  There is no need to have such cache.

Note: we can technically use free-space-tree (space cache v2) on ZONED
mode. But, since ZONED mode now always allocates extents in a block
group sequentially regardless of underlying device zone type, it's no
use to enable and maintain the tree.

For the same reason, NODATACOW is also disabled.

In summary, ZONED will disable:

| Disabled features | Reason                                              |
|-------------------+-----------------------------------------------------|
| RAID/DUP          | Cannot handle two zone append writes to different   |
|                   | zones                                               |
|-------------------+-----------------------------------------------------|
| space_cache (v1)  | In-place updating                                   |
| NODATACOW         | In-place updating                                   |
|-------------------+-----------------------------------------------------|
| fallocate         | Reserved extent will be a write hole                |
|-------------------+-----------------------------------------------------|
| MIXED_BG          | Allocated metadata region will be write holes for   |
|                   | data writes                                         |
