Currently, blk_is_read_only() tells whether a given BlockBackend can
only be used in read-only mode because its root node is read-only. Some
callers actually try to answer a slightly different question: Is the
BlockBackend configured to be writable, by taking write permissions on
the root node?
This can differ, for example, for CD-ROM devices which don't take write
permissions, but may be backed by a writable image file. scsi-cd allows
write requests to the drive if blk_is_read_only() returns false.
However, the write request will immediately run into an assertion
failure because the write permission is missing.
This patch introduces separate functions for both questions.
blk_supports_write_perm() answers the question whether the block
node/image file can support writable devices, whereas blk_is_writable()
tells whether the BlockBackend is currently configured to be writable.
All calls of blk_is_read_only() are converted to one of the two new
functions.

blk_getlength() returns an int64_t but the result is stored in a
uint32_t. Errors (negative values) won't be caught by the check in
pnv_pnor_realize() and blk_blockalign() will allocate a very large
buffer in such cases.
