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.
