Documentation: update btrfs list of features and link to readthedocs.io
The btrfs documentation in kernel is only meant as a starting point, so update the list of features and add link to btrfs.readthedocs.io page that is most up-to-date. The wiki is still used but information is migrated from there. Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
