scanning: improve filtering control

Filtering in label_scan was controlled indirectly by
the fact that bcache was not yet set up when label_scan
first ran.  The result is that filters that needed data
would not run and would return -EAGAIN, which would
result in the dev flag FILTER_AFTER_SCAN being set.
After the dev header was read for checking the label,
filters would be rechecked because of FILTER_AFTER_SCAN.
All filters would be checked this time because bcache
was now set up, and the filters needing data would
largely use data already scanned for reading the label.
This design worked but is hard to adjust for future
cases where bcache is already set up.

Replace this method (based on setting up bcache, or not)
with a new cmd flag filter_nodata_only.  When this flag
is set filters that need data will not run.  This allows
the same label_scan behavior when bcache has been set up.
There are no expected changes in behavior.
