file-posix: Add dynamic-auto-read-only QAPI feature
In commit 23dece19da4 ('file-posix: Make auto-read-only dynamic') , auto-read-only=on changed its behaviour in file-posix for the 4.0 release. This change cannot be detected through the usual mechanisms like schema introspection. Add a new feature flag to the schema to allow libvirt to detect the presence of the new behaviour.

+# Features:
+# @dynamic-auto-read-only: If present, enabled auto-read-only means that the
+# driver will open the image read-only at first,
+# dynamically reopen the image file read-write when
+# the first writer is attached to the node and reopen
+# read-only when the last writer is detached. This
+# allows giving QEMU write permissions only on demand
+# when an operation actually needs write access.
+#
# Since: 2.9
