rm-rf: refuse combining REMOVE_ONLY_DIRECTORIES and REMOVE_SUBVOLUME for now

It's not easy to implement such a combined operation race-freely since
dropping a subvolume will drop all its contents, including any
non-directories.

Hence, let's just not support this combination for now. Which isn't much
of a loss, since we never combine these flags anyway.
