block: Add bdev_dax_supported() for dax mount checks
DAX imposes additional requirements to a device. Add
bdev_dax_supported() which performs all the precondition checks
necessary for filesystem to mount the device with dax option.
Also add a new check to verify if a partition is aligned by 4KB.
When a partition is unaligned, any dax read/write access fails,
except for metadata update.
