chattr/lsattr: update obsolete attribute support
* Remove description of and printing of h, which was never visible to clients of the EXT4_IOC_GETFLAGS ioctl, including chattr and lsattr. * Remove descriptions of X and Z, whose support was removed in 4a05268cf86f713 (Remove compression support). * Update a brief description of E, whose meaning was changed in 22f22ab1d2bc5ae (Reserve the codepoints for the new INCOMPAT feature ENCRYPT). * Add P to symbolic mode format string.
