ALSA: pcm: introduce INFO_NO_REWINDS flag

When the hardware can only deal with a monotonically increasing
appl_ptr, this flag can be set.

In case the application requests a rewind, be it with a
snd_pcm_rewind() or with a direct change of a mmap'ed pointer followed
by a SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR, this patch checks if a rewind
occurred and returns an error.

Credits to Takashi Iwai for identifying the path with SYNC_PTR and
suggesting the pointer checks.
