Using error_is_set(ERRP) to find out whether a function failed is
either wrong, fragile, or unnecessarily opaque. It's wrong when ERRP
may be null, because errors go undetected when it is. It's fragile
when proving ERRP non-null involves a non-local argument. Else, it's
unnecessarily opaque (see commit 84d18f0).
I guess the error_is_set(errp) in the ObjectProperty set() methods are
merely fragile right now, because I can't find a call chain that
passes a null errp argument.
Make the code more robust and more obviously correct: receive the
error in a local variable, then propagate it through the parameter.

The TPM subsystem does not have a full front-end/back-end separation.
The sole available backend, tpm_passthrough, depends on the data
structures of the sole available frontend, tpm_tis.
However, we can at least try to split the user interface (tpm.c) from the
implementation (hw/tpm). The patches makes tpm.c not include tpm_int.h,
which is shared between tpm_tis.c and tpm_passthrough.c; instead it
moves more stuff to tpm_backend.h.

QOM-ified the TPM support with much code borrowed from the rng implementation.
All other TPM related code moves will be provided in a subsequent patch.
