block: Fix snapshot=on cache modes
Since commit 91a097e7, we end up with a somewhat weird cache mode configuration with snapshot=on: The commit broke the cache mode inheritance for the snapshot overlay so that it is opened as writethrough instead of unsafe now. The following bdrv_append() call to put it on top of the tree swaps the WCE flag with the snapshot's backing file (i.e. the originally given file), so what we eventually get is cache=writeback on the temporary overlay and cache=writethrough,cache.no-flush=on on the real image file. This patch changes things so that the temporary overlay gets cache=unsafe again like it used to, and the real images get whatever the user specified. This means that cache.direct is now respected even with snapshot=on, and in the case of committing changes, the final flush is no longer ignored except explicitly requested by the user.
