Added brief descriptions of the new device properties that are
now available to users to configure features of Zoned Namespace
Command Set in the emulator.

This patch is for documentation only, no functionality change.

+ * Setting `zoned` to true makes the device to support zoned namespaces.
+ * In this case, of the following options are available to configure zoned
+ * operation:
+ *     zone_size=<zone size in MiB, default: 128MiB>
+ *
+ *     zone_capacity=<zone capacity in MiB, default: zone_size>
+ *         The value 0 (default) forces zone capacity to be the same as zone
+ *         size. The value of this property may not exceed zone size.
+ *
+ *     zone_file=<zone metadata file name, default: none>
+ *         Zone metadata file, if specified, allows zone information
+ *         to be persistent across shutdowns and restarts.
+ *
+ *     zone_descr_ext_size=<zone descriptor extension size, default 0>
+ *         This value needs to be specified in 64B units. If it is zero,
+ *         namespace(s) will not support zone descriptor extensions.
+ *
+ *     max_active=<Maximum Active Resources (zones), default: 0 - no limit>
+ *
+ *     max_open=<Maximum Open Resources (zones), default: 0 - no limit>

+ *         command. Since internally this this value is maintained as
+ *         ZASL = log2(<maximum append size> / <page size>), some
+ *         values assigned to this property may be rounded down and
+ *         result in a lower maximum ZA data size being in effect.
+ *         If MDTS property is not assigned, the default value of 128KiB is
+ *         used as ZASL.

+ *
+ *     rdonly_zones=<the number of read-only zones to inject, default: 0>

+ *     cross_zone_read=<enables Read Across Zone Boundaries, default: true>
+ *
+ *     fill_pattern=<data fill pattern, default: 0x00>
+ *         The byte pattern to return for any portions of unwritten data
+ *         during read.
