btrfs-progs: dev stats: add dev stats returncode option
Currently, `btrfs device stats` returns non-zero only when there was an
error getting the counter values. This is fine for when it gets run by a
user directly, but is a serious pain when trying to use it in a script or
for monitoring since you need to parse the (not at all machine friendly)
output to check the counter values.
This patch adds an option ('-s') which causes `btrfs device stats`
to set bit 6 in the return code if any of the counters are non-zero.
This greatly simplifies checking from a script or monitoring software if
any errors have been recorded. In the event that this switch is passed
and an error occurs reading the stats, the return code will have bit
0 set (so if there are errors reading counters, and the counters which
were read were non-zero, the return value will be 65).
