I think most of people already know the V4 behavior, or at least I
have seen people think
gquota and pquota are mutually exclusive (including myself) on V5.

Also sb_pquotino is documented on section 12.1 - Superblocks under V5 field, but
when describing quota behavior on Inter Inodes section we still claim
both group and
project quotas cannot be used concurrently which imho may lead to
misunderstanding.

My intention was to make sure V5 behavior is documented while we don't
lose the V4
behavior description.

Please let me know if this way works well..

Thanks for your review.
