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

v15: Rebase onto Kevin's PULL request.
     Add Benoit's rev-by for 1~4.
     Address Jeff's comments (thanks for reviewing!):

    [05/14] block: Add bdrv_set_backing_hd()
            bdrv_ref new backing before bdrv_unref the old one.
            Fix refcnt of backing_hd in bdrv_open_backing_file.
            Use bdrv_set_backing_hd in bdrv_append.
    [06/14] block: Add backing_blocker in BlockDriverState
            Fix mirror.
    [07/14] block: Parse "backing" option to reference existing BDS
    [08/14] block: Support dropping active in bdrv_drop_intermediate
            Avoid bdrv_swap for middle change.
            Fix comment.
            Fix commit by finding overlay before dropping intermediate.
    [14/14] qemu-iotests: Image fleecing test case 083
            Rename 081 -> 083.
