qapi: block-stream: add "bottom" argument

Browse source 
The code already don't freeze base node and we try to make it prepared
for the situation when base node is changed during the operation. In
other words, block-stream doesn't own base node.

Let's introduce a new interface which should replace the current one,
which will in better relations with the code. Specifying bottom node
instead of base, and requiring it to be non-filter gives us the
following benefits:

 - drop difference between above_base and base_overlay, which will be
   renamed to just bottom, when old interface dropped

 - clean way to work with parallel streams/commits on the same backing
   chain, which otherwise become a problem when we introduce a filter
   for stream job

 - cleaner interface. Nobody will surprised the fact that base node may
   disappear during block-stream, when there is no word about "base" in
   the interface.
