Hi all!

This series presents a new command blockdev-replace, which helps to
insert/remove filters anywhere in the block graph. It can:

 - replace qdev block-node by qdev-id
 - replace export block-node by export-id
 - replace any child of parent block-node by node-name and child name

So insertions is done in two steps:

1. blockdev_add (create filter node, unparented)

    [some parent]  [new filter]
     |               |
     V               V
    [        some child       ]

2. blockdev-replace (replace child by the filter)

    [some parent]
     | 
     V
    [new filter]
     |
     V
    [some child]

And removal is done in reverse order:

1. blockdev-replace (go back to picture 1)
2. blockdev_del (remove filter node)


Ideally, we to do both operations (add + replace or replace + del) in a
transaction, but that would be another series.

v8: - rebase on master
    - add documentation
    - also don't use "preallocate" filter in a test, as we don't support
    removal of this filter for now. Preallocate filter is rather
    unusual, see discussion here:
