    Adding ability to specify the libvirt cache mode for disk devices
    
    In past versions of Nova it was possible to explicitly configure
    the cache mode of disks via the libvirt XML template. The curent approach
    makes this a derived setting of either “none” or “writethrough” based
    on the support of O_DIRECT. Whilst this provides a good set of default
    settings it removes the ability of the cloud provider to use other
    modes such as “writeback” and “unsafe” which are valuable in certain
    configurations.
    
    This change allows the cache mode to be specified on a per-disk type
    basis. Leaving the specify_cachemode option set to False retains the
    current behaviour.
