softmmu/physmem: Fail creation of new files in file_ram_open() with readonly=true

Currently, if a file does not exist yet, file_ram_open() will create new
empty file and open it writable. However, it even does that when
readonly=true was specified.

Specifying O_RDONLY instead to create a new readonly file would
theoretically work, however, ftruncate() will refuse to resize the new
empty file and we'll get a warning:
    ftruncate: Invalid argument
And later eventually more problems when actually mmap'ing that file and
accessing it.

If someone intends to let QEMU open+mmap a file read-only, better
create+resize+fill that file ahead of time outside of QEMU context.

We'll now fail with:
./qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -object memory-backend-file,id=ram0,mem-path=tmp,readonly=true,size=1g
qemu-system-x86_64: can't open backing store tmp for guest RAM: No such file or directory

All use cases of readonly files (R/O NVDIMMs, VM templating) work on
existing files, so silently creating new files might just hide user
errors when accidentally specifying a non-existent file.

Note that the only memory-backend-file will end up calling
memory_region_init_ram_from_file() -> qemu_ram_alloc_from_file() ->
file_ram_open().

Move error reporting to the single caller.
