Adopted different strategy for hypothetical future configs

Instead of writing every possible config that has the potential to be
useful in the future, stick to just writing the configs that we know are
useful, and error if we see any configs we don't understand.

This prevents unnecessary config bloat, while still allowing configs to
be introduced in a backwards compatible way in the future.

Currently unknown configs are treated as a mount error, but in theory
you could still try to read the filesystem, just with potentially
corrupted data. Maybe this could be behind some sort of "FORCE" mount
flag. littlefs must never write to the filesystem if it finds unknown
configs.

---

This also creates a curious case for the hole in our tag encoding
previously taken up by the OCOMPATFLAGS config. We can query for any
config > SIZELIMIT with lookupnext, but the OCOMPATFLAGS flag would need
an extra lookup which just isn't worth it.

Instead I'm just adding OCOMPATFLAGS back in. To support OCOMPATFLAGS
littlefs has to do literally nothing, so this is really more of a
documentation change. And who know, maybe OCOMPATFLAGS will have some
weird use case in the future...
