genhd: expose AN to user space

Allow user space to determine if a disk supports Asynchronous Notification of
media changes.  This is done by adding a new sysfs file "capability_flags",
which is documented in (insert file name).  This sysfs file will export all
disk capabilities flags to user space.  We also define a new flag to define
the media change notification capability.
