char: fix waiting for TLS and telnet connection
the tcp_chr_wait_connected() method was changed to check for a non-NULL
's->ioc' as a sign that there is already a connection present, as
opposed to checking the "connected" flag to supposedly fix handling of
TLS/telnet connections.
The original code would repeatedly call tcp_chr_wait_connected creating
many connections as 'connected' would never become true. The changed
code would still repeatedly call tcp_chr_wait_connected busy waiting
because s->ioc is set but the chardev will never see CHR_EVENT_OPENED.
IOW, the code is still broken with TLS/telnet, but in a different way.
Checking for a non-NULL 's->ioc' does not mean that a CHR_EVENT_OPENED
will be ready for a TLS/telnet connection. These protocols (and the
websocket protocol) all require the main loop to be running in order
to complete the protocol handshake before emitting CHR_EVENT_OPENED.
The tcp_chr_wait_connected() method is only used during early startup
before a main loop is running, so TLS/telnet/websock connections can
never complete initialization.
Making this work would require changing tcp_chr_wait_connected to run
a main loop. This is quite complex since we must not allow GSource's
that other parts of QEMU have registered to run yet. The current callers
of tcp_chr_wait_connected do not require use of the TLS/telnet/websocket
protocols, so the simplest option is to just forbid this combination
completely for now.
