[PATCH] state: backend: direct: open backend in read-only mode if possible

We unconditionally open the device backing a direct bucket in read-write
mode. We already populate struct state_backend_storage::readonly though,
which we could consult at device open time. Do so. This could possibly
be done for MTD as well, but until that's tested, for now, we do it only
for the direct backend meant for use with block devices.

This has no functional change for barebox, which calls state_new_from_node
in the DT driver and in the EFI initcall always with readonly=false, but
we can benefit from this in barebox_state to open a device in read-only
mode when possible (e.g. when called to --dump).
