In order to remove the necessity to use BlockBackend names in the
external API, we want to allow node-names everywhere. This converts
change-backing-file to accept a node-name without lifting the
restriction that we're operating at a root node.

In case of an invalid device name, the command returns the GenericError
error class now instead of DeviceNotFound, because this is what
qmp_get_root_bs() returns.

Sometimes I wonder why this command is limited to only the root node -
it seems like tweaking the backing file text of an intermediate node in
a chain would be useful to someone.  But that's not the problem for this
series.

Is it? The main argument of change-backing-file is not @device but
@image-node-name. @device is just used for a sanity check.
