The code already don't freeze base node and we try to make it prepared
for the situation when base node is changed during the operation. In
other words, block-stream doesn't own base node.
Let's introduce a new interface which should replace the current one,
which will in better relations with the code. Specifying bottom node
instead of base, and requiring it to be non-filter gives us the
following benefits:
- drop difference between above_base and base_overlay, which will be
renamed to just bottom, when old interface dropped
- clean way to work with parallel streams/commits on the same backing
chain, which otherwise become a problem when we introduce a filter
for stream job
- cleaner interface. Nobody will surprised the fact that base node may
disappear during block-stream, when there is no word about "base" in
the interface.
