Code that doesn't want to know about current monitor vs. stdout
vs. stderr takes an fprintf_function callback and a FILE * argument to
pass to it. Actual arguments are either fprintf() and stdout or
stderr, or monitor_fprintf() and the current monitor cast to FILE *.
monitor_fprintf() casts it right back, and is otherwise identical to
monitor_printf(). The type-punning is ugly.
New qemu_fprintf() and qemu_vprintf() address this need without type
punning: they are like fprintf() and vfprintf(), except they print to
the current monitor when passed a null FILE *. The next commits will
put them to use.

We commonly want to print to the current monitor if we have one, else
to stdout/stderr. For stderr, have error_printf(). For stdout, all
we have is monitor_vfprintf(), which is rather unwieldy. We often
print to stderr just because error_printf() is easier.
New qemu_printf() and qemu_vprintf() do exactly what's needed. The
next commits will put them to use.
