Refactor backup_start as backup_job_create, which only creates the job,
but does not automatically start it. The old interface, 'backup_start',
is not kept in favor of limiting the number of nearly-identical interfaces
that would have to be edited to keep up with QAPI changes in the future.
Callers that wish to synchronously start the backup_block_job can
instead just call block_job_start immediately after calling
backup_job_create.
Transactions are updated to use the new interface, calling block_job_start
only during the .commit phase, which helps prevent race conditions where
jobs may finish before we even finish building the transaction. This may
happen, for instance, during empty block backup jobs.

Without this change, there is a race condition in tests/test-replication.
Depending on how fast the failover job (active commit) runs, there is a
chance of two bad things happening:
1) replication_done can be called after the secondary has been closed
and hence when the BDRVReplicationState is not valid anymore.
2) two copies of the active disk are present during the
/replication/secondary/stop test (that test runs immediately after
/replication/secondary/start, which tests failover). This causes the
corruption detector to fire.
