authz: add QAuthZListFile object type for a file access control list

Add a QAuthZListFile object type that implements the QAuthZ interface. This
built-in implementation is a proxy around the QAuthZList object type,
initializing it from an external file, and optionally, automatically
reloading it whenever it changes.

To create an instance of this object via the QMP monitor, the syntax
used would be:

      {
        "execute": "object-add",
        "arguments": {
          "qom-type": "authz-list-file",
          "id": "authz0",
          "props": {
            "filename": "/etc/qemu/vnc.acl",
	    "refresh": true
          }
        }
      }

If "refresh" is "yes", inotify is used to monitor the file,
automatically reloading changes. If an error occurs during reloading,
all authorizations will fail until the file is next successfully
loaded.

The /etc/qemu/vnc.acl file would contain a JSON representation of a
QAuthZList object

    {
      "rules": [
         { "match": "fred", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" },
         { "match": "bob", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" },
         { "match": "danb", "policy": "deny", "format": "glob" },
         { "match": "dan*", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" },
      ],
      "policy": "deny"
    }

This sets up an authorization rule that allows 'fred', 'bob' and anyone
whose name starts with 'dan', except for 'danb'. Everyone unmatched is
denied.

The object can be loaded on the comand line using

   -object authz-list-file,id=authz0,filename=/etc/qemu/vnc.acl,refresh=yes
