This simplifies the code somewhat, especially when dropping whole
backing file subchains.
The exception is the mirroring code that does adventurous things with
bdrv_swap() and in order to keep it working, I had to duplicate most of
bdrv_set_backing_hd() locally. We'll get rid again of this ugliness
shortly.
