util: Emancipate id_wellformed() from QemuOpts

IDs have long spread beyond QemuOpts: not everything with an ID
necessarily goes through QemuOpts.  Commit 9aebf3b is about such a
case: block layer names are meant to be well-formed IDs, but some of
them don't go through QemuOpts, and thus weren't checked.  The commit
fixed that the straightforward way: rename the internal QemuOpts
helper id_wellformed() to qemu_opts_id_wellformed() and give it
external linkage.

Instead of using it directly in block.c, the commit adds wrapper
bdrv_is_valid_name(), probably to hide the connection to QemuOpts.

Go one logical step further: emancipate IDs from QemuOpts.  Rename the
function back to id_wellformed(), and put it in another file.  While
there, clean up its value to bool.  Peel off the bdrv_is_valid_name()
wrapper.

[Replaced stray return 0 with return false to match bool returns used
elsewhere in id_wellformed().
