The current implementation of Interfaces is poorly designed. Each interface
that an object implements ends up being an object that's tracked by the
implementing object. There's all sorts of gymnastics to deal with casting
between these objects.
But an interface shouldn't be associated with an Object. Interfaces are global
to a class. This patch moves all Interface knowledge to ObjectClass eliminating
the relationship between Object and Interfaces.
Interfaces are now abstract (as they should be) but this is okay. Interfaces
essentially act as additional parents for the classes and are treated as such.
With this new implementation, we should fully support derived interfaces
including reimplementing an inherited interface.
PC: Rebased against qom-next merge Jun-2012.
PC: Removed replication of cast logic for interfaces, i.e. there is only
one cast function - object_dynamic_cast() (and object_dynamic_cast_assert())

QOM documentation states that for objects of type with @instance_size == 0 size
will be assigned to match parent object's size. But currently this feauture is
not implemented and qemu asserts during creation of object with zero instance_size.
Set appropriate value for type instance_size during type_class_init() call.
object_initialize_with_type() must call type_class_init() before asserting
type->instance_size, and object_new_with_type() must call type_class_init() before
object allocation.

In the old implementation, if the new value of the property links
to the same object, as the old value, that object is first unref-ed,
and then ref-ed. This leads to unintended deinitialization of that object.

This allows to restrict partial matches to objects of the expected
type. It will let people use bare names to reference drives
even though their name might be the same as a device's (e.g.
-drive id=hd0,if=none,... -device ...,drive=hd0,id=hd0).
As a useful byproduct, this fixes a problem with links of interface
type. When a link property's type is an interface, the code expects
the implementation object (not the parent object) to be stored in the
variable. The parent object does not contain the right vtable.

Now we have the following behavior:
1) object_new() returns an object with ref = 1
2) object_initialize() does not increase the reference count (ref may be 0).
3) object_deref() will finalize the object when ref = 0. it does not free the
memory associated with the object.
4) both link and child properties correctly set the reference count.
The expected usage is the following:
1) child devices should generally be created via object_initialize() using
memory from the parent device. Adding the object as a child property will
take ownership of the object and tie the child's life cycle to the parent.
2) If a child device is created via qdev_create() or some other form of
object_new(), there must be an object_delete() call in the parent device's
finalize function.
