hw: Convert from BlockDriverState to BlockBackend, mostly

Device models should access their block backends only through the
block-backend.h API.  Convert them, and drop direct includes of
inappropriate headers.

Just four uses of BlockDriverState are left:

* The Xen paravirtual block device backend (xen_disk.c) opens images
  itself when set up via xenbus, bypassing blockdev.c.  I figure it
  should go through qmp_blockdev_add() instead.

* Device model "usb-storage" prompts for keys.  No other device model
  does, and this one probably shouldn't do it, either.

* ide_issue_trim_cb() uses bdrv_aio_discard() instead of
  blk_aio_discard() because it fishes its backend out of a BlockAIOCB,
  which has only the BlockDriverState.

* PC87312State has an unused BlockDriverState[] member.

The next two commits take care of the latter two.
