block: Remove elevator required features

The only elevator feature ever implemented is ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE
for signaling that a scheduler implements zone write locking to tightly
control the dispatching order of write operations to zoned block
devices. With the removal of zone write locking support in mq-deadline
and the reliance of all block device drivers on the block layer zone
write plugging to control ordering of write operations to zones, the
elevator feature ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE is completely unused.
Remove it, and also remove the now unused code for filtering the
possible schedulers for a block device based on required features.
