While working on the Tulip driver i tried to write some Teledisk images to
a floppy image which didn't work. Turned out that Teledisk checks the written
data by issuing a READ command to the FDC but running the DMA controller
in VERIFY mode. As we ignored the DMA request in that case, the DMA transfer
never finished, and Teledisk reported an error.

So we're enabling DMA when the command is an FD_DIR_READ command and the
dma_mode is VERIFY. Those read commands are:

READ
READ TRACK
READ DELETED DATA

Would it horrify you to know I don't know how the VERIFY mode should
work? It's always nice when you google i8257 to look for information and
the top page of results are all QEMU patches.

The i8257 spec says this:

(3) DMA verify, which does not actually involve the
transfer of data. When an 8257 channel is in the DMA verify
mode, it will respond the same as described for transfer
operations, except that no memory or I/O read/write
control signals will be generated,

Alright, looks good to me -- my question is if there aren't other
commands where we want to give this same treatment, but then again...
we've made it to 2019 without them, so...

OK for this part. However, in an ideal emulation world, the floppy drive controller shouldn't know
what is the current DMA mode.
I would remove this whole dma_mode_ok thing, and always assume that operating system does a sane thing.
Then, get_transfer_mode() callback and the ISADMA_TRANSFER_* defines can also be removed.

It doesn't seem good to me, as it fixes VERIFY mode only for fdc.
Can you try to remove this part, and replace it by the following one (not tested) ?

We may also fix i8257_dma_{read,write}_memory to correctly check for mode and refuse to
do anything if mode is wrong.
