block: Add and use bdrv_replace_in_backing_chain()

This cleans up the mess we left behind in the mirror code after the
previous patch. Instead of using bdrv_swap(), just change pointers.

The interface change of the mirror job that callers must consider is
that after job completion, their local BDS pointers still point to the
same node now. qemu-img must change its code accordingly (which makes it
easier to understand); the other callers stays unchanged because after
completion they don't do anything with the BDS, but just with the job,
and the job is still owned by the source BDS.
