David Sterba d38e561588 btrfs-progs: docs: fix version when send v2 was introduced
As reported the documentation stated the send protocol v2 support was
supported since 5.18, but that's probably remnants of past revisions of
the patches introducing the support. Correct version is 6.0

Omar Sandoval 0ee5b22345 btrfs-progs: send: stream v2 ioctl flags
First, add a --proto option to allow specifying the desired send
protocol version. It defaults to one, the original version. In a couple
of releases once people are aware that protocol revisions are happening,
we can change it to default to zero, which means the latest version
supported by the kernel. This is based on Dave Sterba's patch.

Also add a --compressed-data flag to instruct the kernel to use
encoded_write commands for compressed extents. This requires an explicit
opt in separate from the protocol version because:

1. The user may not want compression on the receiving side, or may want
   a different compression algorithm/level on the receiving side.
2. It has a soft requirement for kernel support on the receiving side
   (btrfs-progs can fall back to decompressing and writing if the kernel
   doesn't support BTRFS_IOC_ENCODED_WRITE, but the user may not be
   prepared to pay that CPU cost). Going forward, since it's easier to
   update progs than the kernel, I think we'll want to make new send
   features that require kernel support opt-in, whereas anything that
   only requires a progs update can happen automatically.
