vm-configurator: Use 'writeback' disk cache option
Turns out that cache=none did not help much in reducing the installation
time of Windows 7 from hours to 20mins (like we thought) and cache=none
requires O_DIRECT and hence makes this option very non-portable.
Let's use 'writeback' cache option, which is reported to be more
efficient than the default option.
