interface: add 'discard-secure' and BLKIF_DISCARD_SECURE

Alter the 'reserved' uint8_t to be used a 'flag'. We use only for
one flag: BLKIF_DISCARD_SECURE.

That flag can only be set if the backend has set 'discard-secure' to one.
If backend has not set 'discard-secure' to one, that flag will have no
effect.
