[Devel] [PATCH VZ9 v3] dm-qcow2: allow specifying depth to merge intermediate images

dm-qcow2 is almost ready to merge intermediate images, thanks
to separated metadata tables and qio being per-qcow2.
So this patch mostly propagates which qcow2 we want to use
instead of tgt->top.
qcow2_merge_backward_complete is a bit harder due to in-middle
replacement and needing to recalculate img_id for a part of
image chain.

v2:
- changed depth to u32
- reverted changes in set_backward_merge_in_process(): do queue stop
for not top qcow2 images at it's own level
- changed saving qcow2 in backward_merge to saving pointer to the
qcow2 which we later intend to change to lower delta
v3: simplified depth lookup in qcow2_merge_backward_start()
