ata: libata: rename ata_dev_is_zac()

The helper function ata_dev_is_zac() checks if a device is a ZAC class
device (host managed zoned disk) or if it is a host aware zoned disk, that
is, a regular ATA disk that supports the zoned capabilities. So the name
of this helper function is confusing as it hints at the first case only.

Rename this helper function to ata_dev_is_zoned() to avoid confusions and
better reflect the two cases tested. Use this helper in
ata_scsiop_inq_std(), ata_scsiop_read_cap() and
ata_scsi_report_supported_opcodes() instead of having the same tests open
coded.

While at it, to stay consistent with this renaming, also rename
ata_dev_config_zac() to ata_dev_config_zoned().

[Severity: Medium]
Does this introduce an undocumented functional change for Device Managed
zoned drives?

The commit message states this is a replacement of "the same tests open coded",
but the old condition would evaluate to true for Device Managed drives,
since ata_id_zoned_cap() returns 0x02 for them.

The new ata_dev_is_zoned() helper checks ata_id_zoned_cap(dev->id) == 0x01,
which evaluates to false for Device Managed drives.

This appears to alter SCSI emulation for these drives, as they will no longer
report ZBC version compatibility here.

Could the commit message be updated to mention this functional bug fix?

[Severity: Medium]
Similarly, does this silently fix Device Managed drives incorrectly
reporting the RC_BASIS bit in READ CAPACITY 16?

[Severity: Medium]
Does this also correctly prevent ZBC_IN and ZBC_OUT from being reported as
supported for Device Managed drives?

If these are intentional bug fixes rather than just refactoring, should the
commit message clarify that the previous open-coded tests incorrectly matched
Device Managed drives?
