block: add enable_write_cache flag

Browse source 
Add a enable_write_cache flag in the block driver state, and use it to
decide if we claim to have a volatile write cache that needs controlled
flushing from the guest.  The flag is off if cache=writethrough is
defined because O_DSYNC guarantees that every write goes to stable
storage, and it is on for cache=none and cache=writeback.

Both scsi-disk and ide now use the new flage, changing from their
defaults of always off (ide) or always on (scsi-disk).
