Removing the first snapshot in a snapshot-as-volume-chain is done via
block-commit for performance reasons, rather than stream, because the
snapshot volume, being the base, is usually larger than the delta
since the snapshot.

When a drive has the 'ro' flag set in the virtual machine
configuration, all three nodes in the throttle->fmt->file chain are
opened with the read-only flag set and thus the format node could not
serve as the target for the stream operation.

Fix this, by temporarily re-opening the format node as writable. Note
that from the guest perspective, nothing changes, because the
read-only flag for the top throttle node is preserved.
