Initial implementation of 'auto-read-only' didn't reopen the backing
files when needed. For '-blockdev' to work we need to be able to tel
qemu to open a file read-only and change it during blockjobs as we label
backing chains with a sVirt label which does not allow writing. The
dynamic auto-read-only supports this as it reopens files when writing
is demanded.
Add a capability to detect that the posix file based backends support
the dynamic part.
