[libata] consolidate data transfer mode handling
The various ways you can send data to/from your ATA device is known as the ATA taskfile protocol: PIO single sector, PIO multiple sector, DMA, DMA TCQ, DMA NCQ, ... Prior to this change, the data direction (read/write) was encoded implicitly into the ATA_PROT_xxx value itself. This increased complexity in some areas, and inhibited flexibility in others. This change separates data direction from taskfile protocol, and also moves the data direction flag (ATA_QCFLAG_WRITE) down to a lower level (ATA_TFLAG_WRITE).
