block: Accept node-name for block-commit
In order to remove the necessity to use BlockBackend names in the external API, we want to allow node-names everywhere. This converts block-commit to accept a node-name without lifting the restriction that we're operating at a root node. As libvirt makes use of the DeviceNotFound error class, we must add explicit code to retain this behaviour because qmp_get_root_bs() only returns GenericErrors.
