Introduce a new feature bit and configuration field that provide
support for toggling the cache mode between writethrough and writeback.

Also rename VIRTIO_BLK_F_WCACHE to VIRTIO_BLK_F_WCE for consistency with
the spec.

My spec (and my kernel as well) call it VIRTIO_BLK_F_FLUSH.

What's the status of the kernel and spec side of the change?

We need to call bdrv_flush() here when turning WCE off. And it seems we
don't have a way to signal failure, or may we just leave the bit unchanged?

If the spec isn't set in stone yet, we could make it a flags field
instead of using a whole byte for a single flag.

Both posted.  The spec patch that introduces VIRTIO_BLK_F_CONFIG_WCE
also renames it to VIRTIO_BLK_F_WCE, since that's really what it does.
See this old comment in the kernel (not in the latest git anymore):

       /*
        * If the FLUSH feature is supported we do have support for
        * flushing a volatile write cache on the host.  [...]
        * otherwise, we must assume that the host does not
        * perform any kind of volatile write caching.
        */
