block: move cache control settings out of queue->flags



Move the cache control settings into the queue_limits so that the flags
can be set atomically with the device queue frozen.

Add new features and flags field for the driver set flags, and internal
(usually sysfs-controlled) flags in the block layer.  Note that we'll
eventually remove enough field from queue_limits to bring it back to the
previous size.

The disable flag is inverted compared to the previous meaning, which
means it now survives a rescan, similar to the max_sectors and
max_discard_sectors user limits.

The FLUSH and FUA flags are now inherited by blk_stack_limits, which
simplified the code in dm a lot, but also causes a slight behavior
change in that dm-switch and dm-unstripe now advertise a write cache
despite setting num_flush_bios to 0.  The I/O path will handle this
gracefully, but as far as I can tell the lack of num_flush_bios
and thus flush support is a pre-existing data integrity bug in those
targets that really needs fixing, after which a non-zero num_flush_bios
should be required in dm for targets that map to underlying devices.
