blktapctrl: Select backend by prefix

This patch adds support for specifying the backend (tapdisk or ioemu)
to blktapctrl. Images can be specified e.g. as tap:tapdisk:aio,
tap:ioemu:qcow2 or tap:vmdk. When omitting the backend, a default is
chosen based on the image type (currently always tapdisk because ioemu
as a backend is broken until a follow-up patch series against qemu-xen
is applied)
