Arguments:
-- "device": device name to operate on (json-string)

- "target": device name to mirror to (json-string)
- "replaces": the block driver node name to replace when finished
(json-string, optional)
In order to remove the necessity to use BlockBackend names in the external API, we want to allow node-names everywhere. This converts blockdev-mirror to accept a node-name without lifting the restriction that we're operating at a root node.
