All the functions in char-fe.c handle the CharBackend
having a NULL Chardev pointer, which means that the
backend exists but is not connected to anything. The
exception is qemu_chr_fe_init(), which will crash if
passed a NULL Chardev pointer argument. This can happen
for various boards if they're started with 'nodefaults':
arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -S -nodefaults -M cubieboard
riscv32-softmmu/qemu-system-riscv32 -nodefaults -M sifive_e
Make qemu_chr_fe_init() accept a NULL chardev. This allows
UART models to handle NULL chardev properties without
generally needing to special case them or to manually
create a NullChardev.

In my "build everything" tree, a change to the types in
qapi-schema.json triggers a recompile of about 4800 out of 5100
objects.
The previous commit split up qmp-commands.h, qmp-event.h, qmp-visit.h,
qapi-types.h. Each of these headers still includes all its shards.
Reduce compile time by including just the shards we actually need.
To illustrate the benefits: adding a type to qapi/migration.json now
recompiles some 2300 instead of 4800 objects. The next commit will
improve it further.

[eblake: rebase to master]

In commit 6bbb6c0644 ("chardev: use per-dev context for
io_add_watch_poll", 2017-09-22) all the chardev watches are converted to
use per-chardev gcontext to support chardev to be run outside default
main thread. However that's still missing one call from the frontend
code. Touch that up.

This simplifies removing a backend for a frontend user (no need to
retrieve the associated driver and separate delete call etc).
NB: many frontends have questionable handling of ending a chardev. They
should probably delete the backend to prevent broken reusage.

Move all the frontend struct and methods to a seperate unit. This avoids
accidentally mixing backend and frontend calls, and helps with readabilty.
Make qemu_chr_replay() a macro shared by both char and char-fe.
Export qemu_chr_write(), and use a macro for qemu_chr_write_all()
(nb: yes, CharBackend is for char frontend :)
