Hi,

this is a pre-release of btrfs-progs, 5.15-rc1 (version tag is v5.14.91).

The proper release is scheduled to next Friday, +7 days (2021-10-05).

The noticeable changes are in the mkfs defaults:

* no-holes
* free-space-tree
* DUP for metadata unconditionally

This is based on numerous user requests and discussions, and after long period
where the respective features have been in released kernels.

Other changes:

* libbtrfs - minimize its impact on the other code, refactor and separate
implementation where needed, cleanup afterwards, reduced header exports

* documentation - introduce sphinx build and RST versions of manual pages, will
become the new format and replace asciidoc
