nilfs2: add norecovery mount option
This adds "norecovery" mount option which disables temporal write
access to read-only mounts or snapshots during mount/recovery.
Without this option, write access will be even performed for those
types of mounts; the temporal write access is needed to mount root
file system read-only after an unclean shutdown.

This option will be helpful when user wants to prevent any write
access to the device.
