The single profile is better suited as default for data on multiple
devices. Switch from RAID0 because:
- it's easier to convert to other profiles, as single consumes some
chunks per device, but RAID0 has chunks on all devices regardless of
the used space
- RAID0 has no redundancy and compared one disk failure affects many
files due to striping, while with single the chances are a bit higher
that complete files are stored on one device
- when the device sizes are not equal and not even close to equal, the
maximum achievable size with RAID0 is size of the smallest device due
to striping, with single it's the sum of all device sizes
The changed defaults could affect scripts and deployments that rely on
the old values, but given the number of possible profiles for multiple
devices let's hope that they're specified explicitly in majority of
cases.

Extract the defaults for data and metadata profiles to a header and
use the symbolic names instead of hardcoding the profiles.

Since commit c11e36a29e ("Btrfs-progs: Do not force mixed block group
creation unless '-M' option is specified"), mkfs no longer use mixed
block group unless specified manually.
This breaks the minimal device size calculation, which only considered
mixed block group use case.
This patch enhances minimal device size calculation for mkfs, by using
different minimal stripe length (calculated from code) for different
profiles, and use them to calculate minimal device size.

Currently, only the status of block devices is checked at mkfs,
but we should also check for regular files whether they are already
formatted or mounted to prevent overwrite accidentally.
Device status is checked by test_dev_for_mkfs().
The part which is not related to block device is split from this
and used for both block device and regular file.

test_minimum_size() function is only called to check if provided device
is large enough.
However the minimal device size only needs to be calculated once, and
can be reused everywhere.
Refactor that function to make later modification easier.

The caller of make_btrfs does not need to set it, it's for internal use
and can be read after mkfs ends.
