block: make copy-on-read a per-request flag
Previously copy-on-read could only be enabled for all requests to a block device. This means requests coming from the guest as well as QEMU's internal requests would perform copy-on-read when enabled. For image streaming we want to support finer-grained behavior than just populating the image file from its backing image. Image streaming supports partial streaming where a common backing image is preserved. In this case guest requests should not perform copy-on-read because they would indiscriminately copy data which should be left in a backing image from the backing chain. Introduce a per-request flag for copy-on-read so that a block device can process both regular and copy-on-read requests. Overlapping reads and writes still need to be serialized for correctness when copy-on-read is happening, so add an in-flight reference count to track this.
