The qom objects are currently added to common-obj-y
which is only linked into the system emulators. The
later crypto patches will depend on QOM infrastructure
and will also be used from tools binaries. Thus the QOM
objects are moved into a new qom-obj-y variable which
can be referenced when linking tools, system emulators
and tests.

Introduces USER_CREATABLE interface that must be implemented by
objects which are designed to created with -object CLI option or
object-add QMP command.
Interface provides an ability to do an optional second stage
initialization of the object created with -object/object-add
commands. By providing complete() callback, which is called
after the object properties were set.
It allows to:
* prevents misusing of -object/object-add by filtering out
objects that are not designed for it.
* generalize second stage backend initialization instead of
adding custom APIs to perform it
* early error detection of backend initialization at -object/
object-add time rather than through a proxy DEVICE object
that tries to use backend.

All of universal-obj-y, user-obj-y (right now unused) and common-obj-y can
be unified into common-obj-y if we take care of defining CONFIG_SOFTMMU
and CONFIG_USER_ONLY in the toplevel makefile. This is similar to how
we define symbols for hardware components.

The directory descent mechanism, and a less-flat tree both helped
in making some *-obj-y definitions very short. Many of these
often end up in universal-obj-y, and used to be separate only
because of libuser (which is now part of history...).
Consolidate these variables in a single one.

qom/ already used a separate makefile. Convert it to use relative
paths, and make it declare both common-obj-y and user-obj-y. This
way, the upper makefiles do not need to know that some QOM files
are compiled twice.
