We are going to convert backup_top to full featured public filter, which can be used in separate of backup job. Start from renaming from "how it used" to "what it does". While updating comments in 283 iotest, drop and rephrase also things about ".active", as this field is now dropped, and filter doesn't have "inactive" mode. Note that this change may be considered as incompatible interface change, as backup-top filter format name was visible through query-block and query-named-block-nodes. Still, consider the following reasoning: 1. backup-top was never documented, so if someone depends on format name (for driver that can't be used other than it is automatically inserted on backup job start), it's a kind of "undocumented feature use". So I think we are free to change it. 2. There is a hope, that there is no such users: it's a lot more native to give a good node-name to backup-top filter if need to operate with it somehow, and don't touch format name. 3. Another "incompatible" change in further commit would be moving copy-before-write filter from using backing child to file child. And this is even more reasonable than renaming: for now all public filters are file-child based. So, it's a risky change, but risk seems small and good interface worth it.
