btrfs-progs: fi resize: accept only directories as paths

Resize of a filesystem image does not work as expected. This has been
confusing and can have bad consequences as people have reported,
resizing the wrong filesystem.

*resize* [<devid>:][+/-]<size>[kKmMgGtTpPeE]|[<devid>:]max <path>::
Resize a filesystem identified by <path> for the underlying device
devid *online*. +
Resize a mounted filesystem identified by directory <path>. A particular device
can be resized by specifying a <devid>.
+
If <path> is a file containing a btrfs image then resize does not work as
expected and does not resize the image. This would resize the underlying
filesystem instead.
+
The devid can be found with *btrfs filesystem show* and
defaults to 1 if not specified.
The <size> parameter specifies the new size of the filesystem.
