Use the same ordering of the relevant fields as we do for the format
layer -blockdev so that later they can be refactored without test
fallout.

To allow using -blockdev with blockjobs QEMU needs to reopen files in
read-write mode when modifying the backing chain. To achieve this we
need to use 'auto-read-only' for the backing files rather than the
normal 'read-only' property. That way qemu knows that the files need to
be reopened.
Note that the format drivers (e.g. qcow2) are still opened with the
read-only property enabled when being a member of the backing chain
since they are supposed to be immutable unless a block job is started.
QEMU v4.0 (since commit 23dece19da4) allows also dynamic behaviour for
auto-read-only which allows us to use sVirt as we only grant write
permissions to files when doing a blockjob.

To allow using -blockdev with RBD we need to support the recently added
RBD authentication.

Reference the storage via node name rather than inlining it. This is
the approach that will be used with -blockdev/blockdev-add since it
allows more control and is more future proof.
