L2ARC: Scan-based depth cap for persistent markers

With persistent markers and inclusive scanning, the marker traverses the
entire ARC state across many feed cycles, writing buffers far from the
tail that may no longer be relevant.

Track cumulative bytes scanned per pass in l2arc_ext_scanned. When scans
reach l2arc_ext_headroom_pct (default 25%) of the ARC state size, reset
the pass markers to the tail via lazy reset flags. This keeps markers
focused on the tail zone where buffers soon to be evicted have the most
value for L2ARC.
