raw_bsd: Don't advertise flags not supported by protocol layer

Browse Source 
The raw format layer supports all flags via passthrough - but
it only makes sense to pass through flags that the lower layer
actually supports.

The next patch gives stronger reasoning for why this is correct.
At the moment, the raw format layer ignores the max_transfer
limit of its protocol layer, and an attempt to do the qemu-io
'w -f 0 40m' to an NBD server that lacks FUA will pass the entire
40m request to the NBD driver, which then fragments the request
itself into a 32m write, 8m write, and flush.  But once the block
layer starts honoring limits and fragmenting packets, the raw
driver will hand the NBD driver two separate requests; if both
requests have BDRV_REQ_FUA set, then this would result in a 32m
write, flush, 8m write, and second flush.  By having the raw
layer no longer advertise FUA support when the protocol layer
lacks it, we are back to a single flush at the block layer for
the overall 40m request.

Note that 'w -f -z 0 40m' does not currently exhibit the same
problem, because there, the fragmentation does not occur until
at the NBD layer (the raw layer has .bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes, and
the NBD layer doesn't advertise max_pwrite_zeroes to constrain
things at the raw layer) - but the problem is latent and we
would again have too many flushes without this patch once the
NBD layer implements support for the new NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES
command, if it sets max_pwrite_zeroes to the same 32m limit as
recommended by the NBD protocol.
