block: Add 'base-node' parameter to the 'block-stream' command

The way to specify the node from which to copy data in the
block-stream operation is by using the 'base' parameter. This
parameter however takes a file name, not a node name.

Since we want to be able to perform this operation using only node
names, this patch adds a new 'base-node' parameter.
