btrfs-progs: add zero-log to rescue command
Copy the functionality of standalone btrfs-zero-log to the main tool. Delete man page for btrfs-zero-log and copy the relevant parts into btrfs-rescue(8). The standalone utility will be removed later. Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.cz>

+clear out log tree
+
+*btrfs rescue zero-log* will remove the log tree if log tree is corrupt, which
+will allow you to mount the filesystem again.
+
+The common case where this happens has been fixed a long time ago,
+so it is unlikely that you will see this particular problem.
+
+One can determine whether *btrfs-zero-log* is needed according to the kernel

*btrfs rescue* returns a zero exit status if it succeeds. Non zero is
