block: bdrv_append(): don't consume reference

We have too much comments for this feature. It seems better just don't
do it. Most of real users (tests don't count) have to create additional
reference.

Drop also comment in external_snapshot_prepare:
 - bdrv_append doesn't "remove" old bs in common sense, it sounds
   strange
 - the fact that bdrv_append can fail is obvious from the context
 - the fact that we must rollback all changes in transaction abort is
   known (it's the direct role of abort)
