Mikulas Patocka 48debafe4f dm: add writecache target
The writecache target caches writes on persistent memory or SSD.
It is intended for databases or other programs that need extremely low
commit latency.

The writecache target doesn't cache reads because reads are supposed to
be cached in page cache in normal RAM.

If persistent memory isn't available this target can still be used in
SSD mode.
