blockdev: warn when copy_on_read=on and readonly=on

If the image is read-only then it's not possible to copy read data into
it.  Therefore copy-on-read is automatically disabled for read-only
images.

Up until now this behavior was silent, add a warning so the user knows
why copy-on-read is not working.
