btrfs-progs-5.12

[pierre]

btrfs-progs version 5.12 have been released.

Notable things:

• libbtrfsutil has been relicensed to LGPL v2.1+

• zoned mode support has been added
  • a host-managed device is needed, there are several options how to emulate such device (null_blk, TCMU runner, file-backed ZBC device)
  • kernel 5.12+ is needed, during my testing I've hit a lot of bugs or corner cases so we're entering the stabilization period
  • ​https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Zoned intro, will be updated as things get discovered

• travis-ci integration has been disabled, I'd like to find another hosted CI but so far none provides a recent kernel so more tests won't pass, last option is to self-host some VMs and monitor git, getting just build tests works but we need to run the testsuite
