bcache: add bucket_size_hi into struct cache_sb_disk for large bucket

The large bucket feature is to extend bucket_size from 16bit to 32bit.

When create cache device on zoned device (e.g. zoned NVMe SSD), making
a single bucket cover one or more zones of the zoned device is the
simplest way to support zoned device as cache by bcache.

But current maximum bucket size is 16MB and a typical zone size of zoned
device is 256MB, this is the major motiviation to extend bucket size to
a larger bit width.

This patch is the basic and first change to support large bucket size,
the major changes it makes are,
- Add BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LARGE_BUCKET for the large bucket feature,
  INCOMPAT means it introduces incompatible on-disk format change.
- Add BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_FUNCS(large_bucket, LARGE_BUCKET) routines.
- Adds __le16 bucket_size_hi into struct cache_sb_disk at offset 0x8d0
  for the on-disk super block format.
- For the in-memory super block struct cache_sb, member bucket_size is
  extended from __u16 to ...
