This series adds for point-in-time snapshot NBD exporting based on
blockdev-backup (variant of drive-backup with existing device as target).

We get a thin point-in-time snapshot by COW mechanism of drive-backup, and
export it through built in NBD server. The steps are as below:

 1. (SHELL) qemu-img create -f qcow2 BACKUP.qcow2 <source size here>

    (Alternatively we can use -o backing_file=RUNNING-VM.img to omit explicitly
    providing the size by ourselves, but it's risky because RUNNING-VM.qcow2 is
    used r/w by guest. Whether or not setting backing file in the image file
    doesn't matter, as we are going to override the backing hd in the next
    step)

 2. (QMP) blockdev-add backing=source-drive file.driver=file file.filename=BACKUP.qcow2 id=target0 if=none driver=qcow2

    (where source-drive is the running BlockDriverState name for
    RUNNING-VM.img. This patch implements "backing=" option to override
    backing_hd for added drive)

 3. (QMP) blockdev-backup device=source-drive sync=none target=target0

    (this is the QMP command introduced by this series, which use a named
    device as target of drive-backup)

 4. (QMP) nbd-server-add device=target0

When image fleecing done:

 1. (QMP) block-job-cancel device=source-drive

 2. (HMP) drive_del target0

 3. (SHELL) rm BACKUP.qcow2

v11 -> v12: Rebase to qemu.git.
     Call bdrv_refresh_limits() in bdrv_set_backing_hd().

v8 -> v11: Rebased to qemu.git. Address Stefan's comments:
    (sorry for sending 3 revisions in a day)

    [01/11] block: Add BlockOpType enum
            Change enum definition as internal.

    [05/11] block: Add bdrv_set_backing_hd()
            Set bs->backing_file and bs->backing_format.

    [06/11] block: Add backing_blocker in BlockDriverState
            Reuse bdrv_set_backing_hd().

    [07/11] block: Parse "backing" option to reference existing BDS
            Update commit message about bdrv_swap assertion removal.
            Fix use-after-free.
            Check for "backing=" and "backing.file=" conflict.

    [08/11] block: Support dropping active in bdrv_drop_intermediate
            Fix function comment.

    [09/11] stream: Use bdrv_drop_intermediate and drop close_unused_images
