scsi: target: add emulate_pr backstore attr to toggle PR support
The new emulate_pr backstore attribute allows for Persistent Reservation
and SCSI2 RESERVE/RELEASE support to be completely disabled. This can be
useful for scenarios such as:
- Ensuring ATS (Compare & Write) usage on recent VMware ESXi initiators.
- Allowing clustered (e.g. tcm-user) backends to block such requests,
avoiding the multi-node reservation state propagation.
When explicitly disabled, PR and RESERVE/RELEASE requests receive Invalid
Command Operation Code response sense data.
