tests/test-bdrv-graph-mod: add test_append_greedy_filter

bdrv_append() is not quite good for inserting filters: it does extra
permission update in intermediate state, where filter get it filtered
child but is not yet replace it in a backing chain.

Some filters (for example backup-top) may want permissions even when
have no parents. And described intermediate state becomes invalid.

That's (half a) reason, why we need "inactive" state for backup-top
filter.

bdrv_append() will be improved later, now let's add a unit test.

Now test fails, so it runs only with -d flag. To run do

  ./test-bdrv-graph-mod -d -p /bdrv-graph-mod/append-greedy-filter

from <build-directory>/tests.
