We had a per-chardev cache for context, then we don't need this
parameter to be passed in every time when chr_update_read_handler()
called. As long as we are calling chr_update_read_handler() using
qemu_chr_be_update_read_handlers() we'll be fine.

It caches the gcontext that is used to poll the chardev IO. Before this
patch, we only passed it in via chr_update_read_handlers(). However
that may not be enough if the char backend is disconnected and
reconnected afterward. There are chardev codes that still assumed the
context be NULL (which is the main context). Will fix that up in
following up patches.

qemu_chr_new_from_opts() is used from both vl.c and hmp,
and it is quite confusing to see qemu suddenly exit after receiving a help
option in hmp.
Do exit(0) from vl.c instead.

This patch adds a possibility to change a char device without a frontend
removal.
Ideally, it would have to happen transparently to a frontend, i.e.
frontend would continue its regular operation.
However, backends are not stateless and are set up by the frontends
via qemu_chr_fe_<> functions, and it's not (generally) possible to replay
that setup entirely in a backend code, as different chardevs respond
to the setup calls differently, so do frontends work differently basing
on those setup responses.
Moreover, some frontend can generally get and save the backend pointer
(qemu_chr_fe_get_driver()), and it will become invalid after backend change.
So, a frontend which would like to support chardev hotswap has to register
a "backend change" handler, and redo its backend setup there.

Move all the frontend struct and methods to a seperate unit. This avoids
accidentally mixing backend and frontend calls, and helps with readabilty.
Make qemu_chr_replay() a macro shared by both char and char-fe.
Export qemu_chr_write(), and use a macro for qemu_chr_write_all()
(nb: yes, CharBackend is for char frontend :)
