virtiofsd: Add -o allow_direct_io|no_allow_direct_io options

Due to the commit 65da453980, the O_DIRECT
open flag of guest applications will be discarded by virtiofsd. While
this behavior makes it consistent with the virtio-9p scheme when guest
applications use direct I/O, we no longer have any chance to bypass the
host page cache.

Therefore, we add a flag 'allow_direct_io' to lo_data. If '-o
 no_allow_direct_io' option is added, or none of '-o allow_direct_io' or
 '-o no_allow_direct_io' is added, the 'allow_direct_io' will be set to
 0, and virtiofsd discards O_DIRECT as before. If '-o allow_direct_io'
is added to the starting command-line, 'allow_direct_io' will be set to
1, so that the O_DIRECT flags will be retained and host page cache can
be bypassed.
