block: Attach bs->file only during .bdrv_open()
The way that attaching bs->file worked was a bit unusual in that it was the only child that would be attached to a node which is not opened yet. Because of this, the block layer couldn't know yet which permissions the driver would eventually need. This patch moves the point where bs->file is attached to the beginning of the individual .bdrv_open() implementations, so drivers already know what they are going to do with the child. This is also more consistent with how driver-specific children work. For a moment, bdrv_open() gets its own BdrvChild to perform image probing, but instead of directly assigning this BdrvChild to the BDS, it becomes a temporary one and the node name is passed as an option to the drivers, so that they can simply use bdrv_open_child() to create another reference for their own use. This duplicated child for (the not opened yet) bs is not the final state, a follow-up patch will change the image probing code to use a BlockBackend, which is completely independent of bs.
