Peter Krempa 2c4c347c4b qemu: block: Use 'auto-read-only' instead of 'read-only' for backing chain
To allow using -blockdev with blockjobs QEMU needs to reopen files in
read-write mode when modifying the backing chain. To achieve this we
need to use 'auto-read-only' for the backing files rather than the
normal 'read-only' property. That way qemu knows that the files need to
be reopened.

Note that the format drivers (e.g. qcow2) are still opened with the
read-only property enabled when being a member of the backing chain
since they are supposed to be immutable unless a block job is started.

QEMU v4.0 (since commit 23dece19da4) allows also dynamic behaviour for
auto-read-only which allows us to use sVirt as we only grant write
permissions to files when doing a blockjob.
