A short delay with a warning before starting a full balance should
improve usability. We have been getting reports from people who run full
balance after following some random advice and then get surprised by the
performance impact.
The countdown is done even when run from scripts, but as the whole
balance takes significanly more time, this shouldn't be an issue.

This patch introduces new option <devid> for the command
btrfs device delete <device_path|devid>[..] <mnt>
In a user reported issue on a 3-disk-RAID1, one disk failed with its
SB unreadable. Now with this patch user will have a choice to delete
the device using devid.
The other method we could do, is to match the input device_path
to the available device_paths with in the kernel. But that won't
work in all the cases, like what if user provided mapper path
when the path within the kernel is a non-mapper path.
This patch depends on the below kernel patch for the new feature to work,
however it will fail-back to the old interface for the kernel without the
patch

For practical purposes teach -t about the human readable names of the
trees in addition to the numerical id. The name syntax is flexible.

In btrfs-filesystem(8), improved the documentation of snapshot unaware
defragmentation and included the exact kernel version numbers being affected as
well as the possible effects.
No longer use the word "unlink" which is easily understood as "deleting a file".
Moved the warning more to the beginning of "defragment" subcommand's
documentation where it's more visible to readers.
Added the same warning to the "autodefrag" option of btrfs-mount(5).

Add the overlapping usage and [usage_min, usage_max] members to the
balance args. The min/max values are interpreted iff the corresponding
flag BTRFS_BALANCE_ARGS_USAGE_RANGE is set.
The minimum boundary is inclusive, maximum is exclusive:
* usage_min <= chunk_usage < usage_max

Add new balance filter 'stripes=<range>' to process only chunks that are
spread accross given number of chunks.
The range minimum and maximum are inclusive.

Add the overlapping limit and [limit_min, limit_max] members to the
balance args. The min/max values are interpreted iff the corresponding
flag BTRFS_BALANCE_ARGS_LIMIT_RANGE is set.
The minimum and maximum are inclusive.
Note that the values are only 32bit, but this should be enough for the
foreseeable future.
