Kevin Wolf 6e1db57b2a qemu-char: Print strerror message on failure
The only way for chardev drivers to communicate an error was to return a NULL
pointer, which resulted in an error message that said _that_ something went
wrong, but not _why_.

This patch changes the interface to return 0/-errno and updates
qemu_chr_open_opts to use strerror to display a more helpful error message.

Hans de Goede 35106c2df2 spice-qemu-char: Fix flow control in client -> guest direction
In the old spice-vmc device we used to have:
last_out = virtio_serial_write(&svc->port, p, MIN(len, VMC_MAX_HOST_WRITE));
if (last_out > 0)
   ...

Now in the chardev backend we have:
last_out = MIN(len, VMC_MAX_HOST_WRITE);
qemu_chr_read(scd->chr, p, last_out);
if (last_out > 0) {
   ...

Which causes us to no longer detect if the virtio port is not ready
to receive data from us. chardev actually has a mechanism to detect this,
but it requires a separate call to qemu_chr_can_read, before calling
qemu_chr_read (which return void).

This patch uses qemu_chr_can_read to fix the flow control from client to
guest.

Hans de Goede cd8f7df289 spice-chardev: listen to frontend guest open / close
Note the vmc_register_interface() in spice_chr_write is left in place
in case someone uses spice-chardev with a frontend which does not have
guest open / close notification.

Alon Levy cbcc6336ce spice: add chardev (v5)
Adding a chardev backend for spice, where spice determines what
to do with it based on the name attribute given during chardev creation.
For usage by spice vdagent in conjunction with a properly named
virtio-serial device, and future smartcard channel usage.

Example usage:
 qemu -device virtio-serial -chardev spicevmc,name=vdagent,id=vdagent \
 -device virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0

v4->v5:
 * add tracing events
 * fix missing comma
 * fix help string to show debug is optional

v3->v4:
 * updated commit message

v1->v3 changes: (v2 had a wrong commit message)
 * removed spice-qemu-char.h, folded into ui/qemu-spice.h
 * removed dead IOCTL code
 * removed comment
 * removed ifdef CONFIG_SPICE from qemu-config.c and qemu-options.hx help.
