fs: add FS_XFLAG_VERITY for fs-verity files
fs-verity introduced inode flag for inodes with enabled fs-verity on them. This patch adds FS_XFLAG_VERITY file attribute which can be retrieved with FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR ioctl() and file_getattr() syscall. This flag is read-only and can not be set with corresponding set ioctl() and file_setattr(). The FS_IOC_SETFLAGS requires file to be opened for writing which is not allowed for verity files. The FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR and file_setattr() clears this flag from the user input. As this is now common flag for both flag interfaces (flags/xflags) add it to overlapping flags list to exclude it from overwrite.

+FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR
+-----------------
+
+Since Linux v7.0, the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR ioctl sets FS_XFLAG_VERITY (0x00020000)
+in the returned flags when the file has verity enabled. Note that this attribute
+cannot be set with FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR as enabling verity requires input
+parameters. See FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY.
