ata: libata-scsi: refactor ata_scsi_report_supported_opcodes()

This commit refactors ata_scsi_report_supported_opcodes() to use an array
of supported commands for easier modifications and extensions. It also adds
handling for WRITE_SAME_16 and VARIABLE_LENGTH_CMD to the list of commands
which libata-scsi translates.

[Severity: Medium]
Should WRITE_SAME_16 be refined here to check for TRIM support?

The commit message mentions adding WRITE_SAME_16 to the supported array,
so it falls through to the default case in this switch statement and
unconditionally returns true.

However, looking at ata_scsi_write_same_xlat(), the command is unconditionally
rejected if the device lacks TRIM capabilities:

ata_scsi_write_same_xlat()
    ...
    if (!unmap || (dev->quirks & ATA_QUIRK_NOTRIM) ||
        !ata_id_has_trim(dev->id)) {
        fp = 1;
        bp = 3;
        goto invalid_fld;
    }

Does this cause the report supported operation codes query to incorrectly
inform the SCSI layer that WRITE_SAME_16 is supported on ATA devices that
do not actually support TRIM?
