xen/blkback: disable discard feature if requested by toolstack
Newer toolstacks may provide a boolean property "discard-enable" in the backend node. Its purpose is to disable discard for file backed storage to avoid fragmentation. Recognize this setting also for physical storage. If that property exists and is false, do not advertise "feature-discard" to the frontend.
