When a user would specify a backing chain index that is above the start
point libvirt would report a rather unhelpful error:

invalid argument: could not find backing store 1 in chain for 'sub/link2'

This patch adds an explicit check that the index is below start point in
the backing store and reports the following error if not:

invalid argument: requested backing store index 1 is above 'sub/../qcow2' in chain for 'sub/link2'

Possible crasher: startFrom can be NULL here, rather move the check
into the previous block where the parent is being set when found (idx
can't be < i when there is no startFrom anyway).  You can then avoid
cleaning up the *parent here -+

ACK series with that fixed.
