block: add -drive copy-on-read=on|off
This patch adds the -drive copy-on-read=on|off command-line option: copy-on-read=on|off copy-on-read is "on" or "off" and enables whether to copy read backing file sectors into the image file. Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing file sectors repeatedly and is useful when the backing file is over a slow network. By default copy-on-read is off.
