qemu-img info: Add cache mode option

When querying block limits, different cache modes (in particular
O_DIRECT or not) can result in different limits. Add an option to
'qemu-img info' that allows the user to specify a cache mode, so that
they can get the block limits for the cache mode they intend to use with
their VM.

qemu-img info: Optionally show block limits

Add a new --limits option to 'qemu-img info' that displays the block
limits for the image and all of its children, making the information
more accessible for human users than in QMP. This option is not enabled
by default because it can be a lot of output that isn't usually relevant
if you're not specifically trying to diagnose some I/O problem.

This makes the same information automatically also available in HMP
'info block -v'.

qemu-img: rebase: refresh options/--help (short option change)

Add missing long options and --help output,
reorder options for consistency.

Use -B for --backing-format, keep -F for
backwards compatibility.

Options added:
--format, --cache - for the image in question
--backing, --backing-format, --backing-cache, --backing-unsafe -
for the new backing file
(was eg CACHE vs SRC_CACHE, which is unclear).

Probably should rename local variables.

qemu-img: snapshot: make -l (list) the default, simplify option handling

When no -l/-a/-c/-d specified, assume -l (list).

Use the same values for SNAPSHOT_LIST/etc constants as the
option chars (lacd), this makes it possible to simplify
option handling a lot, combining cases for 4 options into
one.

Also remove bdrv_oflags handling (only list can use RO mode).
