block: ignore flush requests when storage is clean

Some guests (win2008 server for example) do a lot of unnecessary
flushing when underlying media has not changed. This adds additional
overhead on host when calling fsync/fdatasync.

This change introduces a write generation scheme in BlockDriverState.
Current write generation is checked against last flushed generation to
avoid unnessesary flushes.

The problem with excessive flushing was found by a performance test
which does parallel directory tree creation (from 2 processes).
Results improved from 0.424 loops/sec to 0.432 loops/sec.
Each loop creates 10^3 directories with 10 files in each.

This affected some blkdebug testcases that were expecting error logs from
failure-injected flushes which are now skipped entirely
(tests 026 071 089).

This also affects the performance of block jobs and thus BLOCK_JOB_READY
events for driver-mirror and active block-commit commands now arrives
faster, before QMP send successfully returns to caller (tests 141 144).
