@cur_mon is null unless the main thread is running monitor code, either
HMP code within monitor_read(), or QMP code within
monitor_qmp_dispatch().
Use of @cur_mon outside the main thread is therefore unsafe.
Most of its uses are in monitor command handlers. These run in the main
thread.
However, there are also uses hiding elsewhere, such as in
error_vprintf(), and thus error_report(), making these functions unsafe
outside the main thread. No such unsafe uses are known at this time.
Regardless, this is an unnecessary trap. It's an ancient trap, though.
More recently, commit cf869d5317 "qmp: support out-of-band (oob)
execution" spiced things up: the monitor I/O thread assigns to @cur_mon
when executing commands out-of-band. Having two threads save, set and
restore @cur_mon without synchronization is definitely unsafe. We can
end up with @cur_mon null while the main thread runs monitor code, or
non-null while it runs non-monitor code.
We could fix this by making the I/O thread not mess with @cur_mon, but
that would leave the trap armed and ready.
Instead, make @cur_mon thread-local. It's now reliably null unless the
thread is running monitor code.

The SocketAddress 'fd' kind accepts the name of a file descriptor passed
to the monitor with the 'getfd' command. This makes it impossible to use
the 'fd' kind in cases where a monitor is not available. This can apply in
handling command line argv at startup, or simply if internal code wants to
use SocketAddress and pass a numeric FD it has acquired from elsewhere.
Fortunately the 'getfd' command mandated that the FD names must not start
with a leading digit. We can thus safely extend semantics of the
SocketAddress 'fd' kind, to allow a purely numeric name to reference an
file descriptor that QEMU already has open. There will be restrictions on
when each kind can be used.
In codepaths where we are handling a monitor command (ie cur_mon != NULL),
we will only support use of named file descriptors as before. Use of FD
numbers is still not permitted for monitor commands.
In codepaths where we are not handling a monitor command (ie cur_mon ==
NULL), we will not support named file descriptors. Instead we can reference
FD numers explicitly. This allows the app spawning QEMU to intentionally
"leak" a pre-opened socket to QEMU and reference that in a SocketAddress
definition, or for code inside QEMU to pass pre-opened FDs around.

The SocketAddress struct has an "fd" type, which references the name of a
file descriptor passed over the monitor using the "getfd" command. We
currently blindly assume the FD is a socket, which can lead to hard to
diagnose errors later. This adds an explicit check that the FD is actually
a socket to improve the error diagnosis.

The fd_is_socket() helper method is useful in a few places, so put it in
the common sockets code. Make the code more compact while moving it.
