block: Change bdrv_eject() not to drop the image
bdrv_eject() gets called when a device model opens or closes the tray.
If the block driver implements method bdrv_eject(), that method gets
called. Drivers host_cdrom implements it, and it opens and closes the
physical tray, and nothing else. When a device model opens, then
closes the tray, media changes only if the user actively changes the
physical media while the tray is open. This is matches how physical
hardware behaves.
If the block driver doesn't implement method bdrv_eject(), we do
something quite different: opening the tray severs the connection to
the image by calling bdrv_close(), and closing the tray does nothing.
When the device model opens, then closes the tray, media is gone,
unless the user actively inserts another one while the tray is open,
with a suitable change command in the monitor. This isn't how
physical hardware behaves. Rather inconvenient when programs
"helpfully" eject media to give you a chance to change it. The way
bdrv_eject() behaves here turns that chance into a must, which is not
what these programs or their users expect.
Change the default action not to call bdrv_close(). Instead, note the
tray status in new BlockDriverState member tray_open. Use it in
bdrv_is_inserted().
Arguably, the device models should keep track of tray status
themselves. But this is less invasive.
