David Sterba 65181c273e btrfs-progs: mkfs: don't autoselect DUP on SSD for metadata anymore 
The original idea of not doing DUP on SSD was that the duplicate blocks
get deduplicated again by the driver firmware. This was in 2013, years
ago. Then it was speculative and even nowadays we don't have much
reliable information from vendors what optimizations are done on the
drive level.

After the year there's enough information gathered by user community and
there's no simple answer. Expensive drives are more reliable but less
common, for cheap consumer drive it's vice versa. The characteristics
are described in more detail in manual page btrfs(5) in section "SOLID
STATE DRIVES (SSD)".

The reasoning is based on numerous reports on IRC and technical
difficulty on mkfs side to do the right decision. The default is chosen
to be the safe option and up to user to change that based on informed
decision.

Issue: #319
