f2fs: include charset encoding information in the superblock

Add charset encoding to f2fs to support casefolding. It is modeled after
the same feature introduced in commit c83ad55e

 ("ext4: include charset
encoding information in the superblock")

Currently this is not compatible with encryption, similar to the current
ext4 imlpementation. This will change in the future.

>From the ext4 patch:
"""
The s_encoding field stores a magic number indicating the encoding
format and version used globally by file and directory names in the
filesystem.  The s_encoding_flags defines policies for using the charset
encoding, like how to handle invalid sequences.  The magic number is
mapped to the exact charset table, but the mapping is specific to ext4.
Since we don't have any commitment to support old encodings, the only
encoding I am supporting right now is utf8-12.1.0.

The current implementation prevents the user from enabling encoding and
per-directory encryption on the same filesystem at the same time.  The
incompatibility between these features lies in how we do efficient
directory searches when we cannot be sure the encryption of the user
provided fname will match the actual hash stored in the disk without
decrypting every directory entry, because of normalization cases.  My
quickest solution is to simply block the concurrent use of these
features for now, and enable it later, once we have a better solution.
