block: BdrvChildRole.attach/detach() callbacks

Backing files are somewhat special compared to other kinds of children
because they are attached and detached using bdrv_set_backing_hd()
rather than the normal set of functions, which does a few more things
like setting backing blockers, toggling the BDRV_O_NO_BACKING flag,
setting parent_bs->backing_file, etc.

These special features are a reason why change_parent_backing_link()
can't handle backing files yet. With abstracting the additional features
into .attach/.detach callbacks, we get a step closer to a function that
can actually deal with this.
