9f7965c7e9 Expand cache= option and use write-through caching by default
This patch changes the cache= option to accept none, writeback, or writethough
to control the host page cache behavior.  By default, writethrough caching is
now used which internally is implemented by using O_DSYNC to open the disk
images.  When using -snapshot, writeback is used by default since data integrity
it not at all an issue.

cache=none has the same behavior as cache=off previously.  The later syntax is
still supported by now deprecated.  I also cleaned up the O_DIRECT
implementation to avoid many of the #ifdefs.
