qmp: make block job command naming consistent
The block streaming and job commands used '_' instead of '-' for reasons of compatibility with libvirt, which already included support for the '_' naming. However, the semantics of block_job_cancel have changed and libvirt now needs to handle the new semantics. Since the old semantics were never in a QEMU release we can still rename the commands to use '-' instead of '_'. Libvirt is also happy because the new name can be used to distinguish QEMU binaries that support the latest block-job-cancel semantics from those that include a downstream block_job_cancel command. Therefore, let's apply the QAPI/QMP naming rules to the block streaming and job commands. QEMU 1.1 will be the first release with these commands so no upstream users can break. Note that HMP commands are left with '_' because that is the convention there.
