block: Accept node-name for change-backing-file

In order to remove the necessity to use BlockBackend names in the
external API, we want to allow node-names everywhere. This converts
change-backing-file to accept a node-name without lifting the
restriction that we're operating at a root node.

In case of an invalid device name, the command returns the GenericError
error class now instead of DeviceNotFound, because this is what
qmp_get_root_bs() returns.
