232 is marked as generic, but commit 12efe428c9 added code that assumes
qcow2. What the new test really needs is backing files and support for
updating the backing file link (.bdrv_change_backing_file).
Split the non-generic code into a new test case 247 and make it work
with qed, too.

Until now, with auto-read-only=on we tried to open the file read-write
first and if that failed, read-only was tried. This is actually not good
enough for libvirt, which gives QEMU SELinux permissions for read-write
only as soon as it actually intends to write to the image. So we need to
be able to switch between read-only and read-write at runtime.
This patch makes auto-read-only dynamic, i.e. the file is opened
read-only as long as no user of the node has requested write
permissions, but it is automatically reopened read-write as soon as the
first writer is attached. Conversely, if the last writer goes away, the
file is reopened read-only again.
bs->read_only is no longer set for auto-read-only=on files even if the
file descriptor is opened read-only because it will be transparently
upgraded as soon as a writer is attached. This changes the output of
qemu-iotests 232.
