block: Introduce bdrv_co_flush_to_os

qcow2 has a writeback metadata cache, so flushing a qcow2 image actually
consists of writing back that cache to the protocol and only then flushes the
protocol in order to get everything stable on disk.

This introduces a separate bdrv_co_flush_to_os to reflect the split.
