qemu: Format 'write-cache' parameter for disk frontends

The disk cache mode translates to various frontend and backend
attributes for the qemu block layer. For the frontend device the
'writeback' parameter is used and provided as 'write-cache'. Implement
this so that we can later switch to using -blockdev where we will not
pass the cachemode directly any more.
