block: Catch backing files assigned to non-COW drivers

Since we parse backing.* options to add a backing file from the command
line when the driver didn't assign one, it has been possible to have a
backing file for e.g. raw images (it just was never accessed).

This is obvious nonsense and should be rejected.
