This series makes the next step towards a QAPI interface that doesn't require clients to know about BlockBackends. By removing the support for 'id' from blockdev-add, it becomes a command that always only creates a BDS (with a node name). Existing interfaces have already been changed to accept node names everywhere and BlockBackends are created whenever they are needed.
The actual change is in the last patch and pretty trivial, but many test cases use blockdev-add to create a BlockBackend and must be updated first.
