On a 'qemu-discuss' thread[1], Kevin identifies that the current doc
blurb for @blockdev-add is stale:

     This is actually a documentation bug. @id doesn't exist,
     blockdev-add never creates a BlockBackend. This was different in the
     very first versions of the patches to add blockdev-add and we
     probably just forgot to update the documentation after removing it.

So remove the stale bits.

And the requirement for 'node-name' is already mentioned in the
documentation of @BlockdevOptions:

     [...]
     # @node-name: the node name of the new node (Since 2.0).
     #             This option is required on the top level of blockdev-add.
     #             Valid node names start with an alphabetic character and may
     #             contain only alphanumeric characters, '-', '.' and '_'. Their
     #             maximum length is 31 characters.
     [...]
