stream: rework backing-file changing
Stream in stream_prepare calls bdrv_change_backing_file() to change
backing-file in the metadata of bs.
It may use either backing-file parameter given by user or just take
filename of base on job start.
Backing file format is determined by base on job finish.
There are some problems with this design, we solve only two by this
patch:
1. Consider scenario with backing-file unset. Current concept of stream
supports changing of the base during the job (we don't freeze link to
the base). So, we should not save base filename at job start,
- let's determine name of the base on job finish.
2. Using direct base to determine filename and format is not very good:
base node may be a filter, so its filename may be JSON, and format_name
is not good for storing into qcow2 metadata as backing file format.
- let's use unfiltered_base
