Zach Brown 4c1181c055 Remove first_ and last_ super blkno fields
There are fields in the super block that specify the range of blocks
that would be used for metadata or data.  They are from the time when a
single block device was carved up into regions for metadata and data.

They don't make sense now that we have separate metadata and data block
devices.  The starting blkno is static and we go to the end of the
device.

This removes the fields now that they serve no purpose.   The only use
of them to check that freed extents fell within the correct bounds can
still be performed by using the static starting number or roughly using
the size of the devices.  It's not perfect, but this is already only
a check to see that the blknos aren't utter nonsense.

We're removing the fields now to avoid having to update them while
worrying about users when resizing devices.
