Since the introduction of a backup filter node in commit 00e30f05d, the
backup block job crashes when the target image is smaller than the
source image because it will try to write after the end of the target
node without having BLK_PERM_RESIZE. (Previously, the BlockBackend layer
would have caught this and errored out gracefully.)
We can fix this and even do better than the old behaviour: Check that
source and target have the same image size at the start of the block job
and unshare BLK_PERM_RESIZE. (This permission was already unshared
before the same commit 00e30f05d, but the BlockBackend that was used to
make the restriction was removed without a replacement.) This will
immediately error out when starting the job instead of only when writing
to a block that doesn't exist in the target.
Longer target than source would technically work because we would never
write to blocks that don't exist, but semantically these are invalid,
too, because a backup is supposed to create a copy, not just an image
that starts with a copy.
