qcow2: Use Qcow2Cache in writeback mode during loadvm/savevm

In snapshotting there is no guest involved, so we can safely use a writeback
mode and do the flushes in the right place (i.e. at the very end). This
improves the time that creating/restoring an internal snapshot takes with an
image in writethrough mode.
