block: Print its file name if backing file opening failed
If backing file doesn't exist, the error message is confusing and
misleading:
$ qemu /tmp/a.qcow2
qemu: could not open disk image /tmp/a.qcow2: Could not open file: No
such file or directory
But...
$ ls /tmp/a.qcow2
/tmp/a.qcow2
$ qemu-img info /tmp/a.qcow2
image: /tmp/a.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 8.0G (8589934592 bytes)
disk size: 196K
cluster_size: 65536
backing file: /tmp/b.qcow2
Because...
$ ls /tmp/b.qcow2
ls: cannot access /tmp/b.qcow2: No such file or directory
This is not intuitive. It's better to have the missing file's name in
the error message. With this patch:
$ qemu-io -c 'read 0 512' /tmp/a.qcow2
qemu-io: can't open device /tmp/a.qcow2: Could not open backing
file: Could not open '/stor/vm/arch.raw': No such file or directory
no file open, try 'help open'
Which is a little bit better.
