dm: introduce num_flush_requests

Introduce num_flush_requests for a target to set to say how many flush
instructions (empty barriers) it wants to receive.  These are sent by
__clone_and_map_empty_barrier with map_info->flush_request going from 0
to (num_flush_requests - 1).

Old targets without flush support won't receive any flush requests.
