[ndctl,2/4] ndctl, list: clarify dev_badblocks_to_json() usage with btt and documentation

Rather than pass include_media_errors through to dev_badblocks_to_json()
in the btt case only to throw it away, just tell dev_badblocks_to_json()
not to bother. The commentary about why we do not support badblocks
listing is moved internal to the util_btt_badblocks_to_json() helper.

This also takes the opportunity to s/jobj2/jbbs/ for readability, and
s/include_media_err/include_media_errors/ for consistency.

+	Include media errors (badblocks) in the listing. Note that the
+	'badblock_count' property is included in the listing by default
+	when the count is non-zero, otherwise it is hidden. Also, if the
+	namespace is in 'sector' mode the 'badblocks' listing is not
+	included and 'badblock_count' property may include blocks that are
+	located in metadata, or unused capacity in the namespace. Convert
+	a 'sector' namespace into 'raw' mode to list precise 'badblocks'
+	offsets.
