qcow2: Make cache=writethrough default
The performance of qcow2 has improved meanwhile, so we don't need to special-case it any more. Switch the default to write-through caching like all other block drivers. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

Some block drivers perform badly with @option{cache=writethrough}, most notably,
qcow2. If performance is more important than correctness,
-@option{cache=writeback} should be used with qcow2. By default, if no explicit
-caching is specified for a qcow2 disk image, @option{cache=writeback} will be
-used. For all other disk types, @option{cache=writethrough} is the default.
+@option{cache=writeback} should be used with qcow2.
Instead of @option{-cdrom} you can use:
