Add generic property accessors that take a string and parse it
appropriately for the property type. All the magic here is done
by the new string-based visitors.

Replace device_init() with generalized type_init().
While at it, unify naming convention: type_init([$prefix_]register_types)
Also, type_init() is a function, so add preceding blank line where
necessary and don't put a semicolon after the closing brace.

These can set a link to any object, as long as it is included in
the composition tree.

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.

Move the creation of QmpInputVisitor and QmpOutputVisitor from qmp.c
to qom/object.c, since it's the only practical way to access object
properties.
Keep this isolated such that it's easy to remove. At some point, we need
to remove all usage of QObject in the tree and replace it with GVariant.

The interface loop can be performed only on the parent object. It
does not need to be done on each interface. Similarly, we can
simplify the code by switching early from the implementation
object to the parent object.

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.

Links had limited utility before as they only allowed a concrete type to be
specified. Now we can support abstract types and interfaces which means it's
now possible to have a link<PCIDevice>.

This is mostly code movement although not entirely. This makes properties part
of the Object base class which means that we can now start using Object in a
meaningful way outside of qdev.
