Kirill noticied that on recent versions on QEMU he was not able to
trigger SysRq to invoke debug capabilites of Linux Kernel. He tracked
it down to qemu_chr_be_event() ignoring CHR_EVENT_BREAK due s->be
being NULL. The bug was introduced in 2.8, commit a4afa548fc ("char:
move front end handlers in CharBackend"). Since the commit, the
qemu_chr_be_event() failed to deliver CHR_EVENT_BREAK due to
qemu_chr_fe_init() does not set s->be in case of mux.
Let's fix this by teaching mux to send an event to the frontend with
the focus.

Frontends should have an interface to setup the handler of a backend change.
The interface will be used in the next commits

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.

So they are all in one place. The following patch will move serial &
parallel declarations to the respective headers.

mux_chr_event() already send events to all backends, rename it,
export it, and use it from muxes_realize_done. This should help abstract
away mux implementation.

A mechanical move, except that qemu_chr_write_all() needs to be declared
in char.h header to be used from chardev unit files.
