block: Add blockdev-set-active QMP command

The system emulator tries to automatically activate and inactivate block
nodes at the right point during migration. However, there are still
cases where it's necessary that the user can do this manually.

Images are only activated on the destination VM of a migration when the
VM is actually resumed. If the VM was paused, this doesn't happen
automatically. The user may want to perform some operation on a block
device (e.g. taking a snapshot or starting a block job) without also
resuming the VM yet. This is an example where a manual command is
necessary.

Another example is VM migration when the image files are opened by an
external qemu-storage-daemon instance on each side. In this case, the
process that needs to hand over the images isn't even part of the
migration and can't know when the migration completes. Management tools
need a way to explicitly inactivate images on the source and activate
them on the destination.

This adds a new blockdev-set-active QMP command that lets the user
change the status of individual nodes (this is necessary in
qemu-storage-daemon because it could be serving multiple VMs and only
one of them migrates at a time). For convenience, operating on all
devices (like QEMU does automatically during migration) is offered as an
option, too, and can be used in the context of single VM.
