block: Introduce BdrvChildRole.update_filename

There is no good reason for bdrv_drop_intermediate() to know the active
layer above the subchain it is operating on - even more so, because
the assumption that there is a single active layer above it is not
generally true.

In order to prepare removal of the active parameter, use a BdrvChildRole
callback to update the backing file string in the overlay image instead
of directly calling bdrv_change_backing_file().
