blockdev: read-only-mode for blockdev-change-medium
Add an option to qmp_blockdev_change_medium() which allows changing the read-only status of the block device whose medium is changed. Some drives do not have a inherently fixed read-only status; for instance, floppy disks can be set read-only or writable independently of the drive. Some users may find it useful to be able to therefore change the read-only status of a block device when changing the medium.
