ext4: remove deprecated oldalloc

Browse Source 
For a long time now orlov is the default block allocator in the
ext4. It performs better than the old one and no one seems to claim
otherwise so we can safely drop it and make oldalloc and orlov mount
option deprecated.

This is a part of the effort to reduce number of ext4 options hence the
test matrix.

orlov (*) This enables the new Orlov block allocator. It is
enabled by default.
oldalloc This disables the Orlov block allocator and enables
the old block allocator. Orlov should have better
performance - we'd like to get some feedback if it's
the contrary for you.
