qemu-io provides a 'reopen' command that allows switching from writable to read-only access. We need to make sure that we don't try to keep write permissions to a BlockBackend that becomes read-only, otherwise things are going to fail.
command() already makes sure to request any additional permissions that a qemu-io command requires, so just resetting the permissions to values that are safe for read-only images is enough to fix this. As a side effect, this makes the output of qemu-iotests case 187 more consistent.
