file-posix: add drop-cache=on|off option

Browse Source 
Commit dd577a26ff ("block/file-posix:
implement bdrv_co_invalidate_cache() on Linux") introduced page cache
invalidation so that cache.direct=off live migration is safe on Linux.

The invalidation takes a significant amount of time when the file is
large and present in the page cache.  Normally this is not the case for
cross-host live migration but it can happen when migrating between QEMU
processes on the same host.

On same-host migration we don't need to invalidate pages for correctness
anyway, so an option to skip page cache invalidation is useful.  I
investigated optimizing invalidation and detecting same-host migration,
but both are hard to achieve so a user-visible option will suffice.

As a bonus this option means that the cache invalidation feature will
now be detectable by libvirt via QMP schema introspection.
