One of the major reasons for doing something new for -blockdev and
blockdev-add was that the old block layer code parses filenames instead
of just taking them literally. So we should really leave it untouched
when it's passing using the new interfaces (like -drive
file.filename=...).
This allows opening relative file names that contain a colon.

Filter the name of the QEMU executable so the output can be diffed no
matter what QEMU_PROG is (e.g. qemu-system-x86_64).
