Revert "add_drive_ro adds readonly=on option if available." (RHBZ#617200).

Adding the readonly=on option is not so clever.  This causes
qemu to present the disk as read-only to the guest.  (The
expected behaviour of snapshots=on,readonly=on was that it
would open the disk O_RDONLY but present a writable disk to
the guest).

Since the guest sees a read-only disk, we are unable to do any
recovery if a filesystem on the disk is inconsistent.  This basically
prevents most accesses to live disk images.

What we really want is a qemu option which presents a writable
disk to the guest, but only opens the disk on the host side with
O_RDONLY, to alleviate the udev bug RHBZ#571714.

explicitly closed.  This avoids double-freeing the handle.

per-handle data.  However any fields whose names begin with
an underscore are reserved for use by the Perl bindings.

This is hard to solve cleanly without adding another file API.

However this restricts file to regular files, unless called explicitly

string like "directory".

There is a small semantic change for symbolic links.  Previously
it would not have worked at all on absolute links (or rather, the
results would have been undefined).  It would have treated relative
symlinks to regular files as the regular file itself.  Now it will
return the string "symbolic link" in both cases.

This commit also makes the API safe when called on untrusted
filesystems.  Previously a filesystem might have been set up so
