backend_defaults property allow users to control if default block
properties should be decided with backend information.
If it is off, any backend information will be discarded, which is
suitable if you plan to perform live migration to a different disk backend.
If it is on, a block device may utilize backend information more
aggressively.
By default, it is auto, which uses backend information from physical
devices and ignores one from file. It is consistent with the older
versions, and should be aligned with the user expectation that a file
backend is more independent of host than a physical device backend.
