virtio-blk: advertise F_WCE (F_FLUSH) if F_CONFIG_WCE is advertised

Virtio spec 1.1 (and earlier), 5.2.5.2 Driver Requirements: Device
Initialization:

"Devices SHOULD always offer VIRTIO_BLK_F_FLUSH, and MUST offer it if
they offer VIRTIO_BLK_F_CONFIG_WCE"

Currently F_CONFIG_WCE and F_WCE are not connected to each other.
Qemu will advertise F_CONFIG_WCE if config-wce argument is
set for virtio-blk device. And F_WCE is advertised only if
underlying block backend actually has it's caching enabled.

Fix this by advertising F_WCE if F_CONFIG_WCE is also advertised.

To preserve backwards compatibility with newer machine types make this
behaviour governed by "x-enable-wce-if-config-wce" virtio-blk-device
property and introduce hw_compat_4_2 with new property being off by
default for all machine types <= 4.2 (but don't introduce 4.3
machine type itself yet).
