memory: add memory_region_flush_rom_device()
ROM devices go via MemoryRegionOps->write() callbacks for write
operations and do not dirty/invalidate that memory. Device emulation
must be able to mark memory ranges that have been modified internally
(e.g. using memory_region_get_ram_ptr()).
Introduce the memory_region_flush_rom_device() API for this purpose.
