1. support "writeback" and "writethru" mode toggling for virtio-blk
conditionally. When starting DM with "writethru" parameter in
virtio-blk, guest OS could not toggle cache mode. When starting DM
with "writeback" parameter in virtio-blk, guest OS could toggle
cache mode.
------------------------------
DM cmdline | toggle support
------------+-----------------
writeback | yes
writethru | no
------------------------------
2. To toggle cache mode, run below command in guest OS:
echo "write back" > /sys/devices/xxx/vdx/cache_type
OR
echo "write through" > /sys/devices/xxx/vdx/cache_type

currently, each virtio device has their own virtio_ops implementation.
Take virtio-blk for example:
static struct virtio_ops virtio_blk_ops = {
"virtio_blk",
1,
sizeof(struct virtio_blk_config),
virtio_blk_reset,
virtio_blk_notify,
virtio_blk_cfgread,
virtio_blk_cfgwrite,
NULL,
NULL,
VIRTIO_BLK_S_HOSTCAPS,
};
If start DM with two virtio-blk, this global variable will be
assigined to two virtio-blk instances. Changing hv_caps for one
instance will affect others. But different instances may need
different capabilities.
To support this requirement, we suggest to move hv_caps to
virtio_base structure, and each instance can return their own
capabilities.

Following functions have never been used anywhere.
Let's remove them.
fbsdrun_muxed()
fbsdrun_vmexit_on_hlt()
fbsdrun_vmexit_on_pause()
fbsdrun_disable_x2apic()
Remove weird prefix "fbsdrun" from following functions' name.
fbsdrun_virtio_msix() --> virtio_uses_msix()
fbsdrun_start_thread() --> start_thread()

New compiler options introduced by commit
519c4285cf will cause DM compile failure
which caused by warnings from some snprintf usage might be truncated.
Expanding the string buffer to make compiler happy.
v3: change format string
v2: Address comment from Hao, shrink bident string size to satify
tname length in blockif_open.
