block: Split BLOCK_OP_TYPE_COMMIT to BLOCK_OP_TYPE_COMMIT_{SOURCE, TARGET}
Like BLOCK_OP_TYPE_BACKUP_SOURCE and BLOCK_OP_TYPE_BACKUP_TARGET,
block-commit involves two asymmetric devices.
This change is not user-visible (yet), because commit only works with
device names.
But once we enable backing reference in blockdev-add, or specifying
node-name in block-commit command, we don't want the user to start two
commit jobs on the same backing chain, which will corrupt things because
of the final bdrv_swap.
Before we have per category blockers, splitting this type is still
better.
[Resolved virtio-blk dataplane conflict by replacing
BLOCK_OP_TYPE_COMMIT with both BLOCK_OP_TYPE_COMMIT_{SOURCE, TARGET}.
They are safe since the block job runs in the same AioContext as the
dataplane IOThread.
