qemu-img: Allow source cache mode specification
Many qemu-img subcommands only read the source file(s) once. For these
use cases, a full write-back cache is unnecessary and mainly clutters
host cache memory. Though this is generally no concern as cache memory
is freely available and can be scaled by the host OS, it may become a
concern with thin provisioning.
For these cases, it makes sense to allow users to freely specify the
source cache mode (e.g. use no cache at all).
This commit adds a new switch (-T) for the qemu-img subcommands check,
compare, convert and rebase to specify the cache to be used for source
images (the backing file in case of rebase).
