zonefs: update documentation to reflect zone size vs capacity 

Update the zonefs documentation to reflect the difference between a zone's
size and it's capacity.

The maximum file size in zonefs is the zones capacity, for ZBC and ZAC
based devices, which do not have a separate zone capacity, the zone
capacity is equal to the zone size.
