qapi: Split qom.json and qdev.json off misc.json
Move commands object-add, object-del, qom-get, qom-list, qom-list-properties, qom-list-types, and qom-set with their types from misc.json to new qom.json. Move commands device-list-properties, device_add, device-del, and event DEVICE_DELETED from misc.json to new qdev.json. Add both new files to MAINTAINERS section QOM.

+# @ObjectPropertyInfo:
+#
+# @name: the name of the property
+#
+# @type: the type of the property. This will typically come in one of four
+# forms:
+#
+# 1) A primitive type such as 'u8', 'u16', 'bool', 'str', or 'double'.
+# These types are mapped to the appropriate JSON type.
+#
+# 2) A child type in the form 'child<subtype>' where subtype is a qdev
+# device type name. Child properties create the composition tree.
+#
+# 3) A link type in the form 'link<subtype>' where subtype is a qdev
+# device type name. Link properties form the device model graph.
+#
+# @description: if specified, the description of the property.
+#
+# Since: 1.2

+# @qom-get:
+#
+# This command will get a property from a object model path and return the
+# value.
+#
+# @path: The path within the object model. There are two forms of supported
+# paths--absolute and partial paths.
+#
+# Absolute paths are derived from the root object and can follow child<>
+# or link<> properties. Since they can follow link<> properties, they
+# can be arbitrarily long. Absolute paths look like absolute filenames
+# and are prefixed with a leading slash.
+#
+# Partial paths look like relative filenames. They do not begin
+# with a prefix. The matching rules for partial paths are subtle but
+# designed to make specifying objects easy. At each level of the
+# composition tree, the partial path is matched as an absolute path.
+# The first match is not returned. At least two matches are searched
+# for. A successful result is only returned if only one match is
+# found. If more than one match is found, a flag is return to
+# indicate that the match was ambiguous.
+#
+# @property: The property name to read
+#
+# Returns: The property value. The type depends on the property
+# type. child<> and link<> properties are returned as #str
+# pathnames. All integer property types (u8, u16, etc) are
+# returned as #int.
+#
+# Since: 1.2
+#
+# Example:
+#
+# 1. Use absolute path
+#
+# -> { "execute": "qom-get",
+# "arguments": { "path": "/machine/unattached/device[0]",
+# "property": "hotplugged" } }
+# <- { "return": false }
+#
+# 2. Use partial path

+# "property": "type" } }
+# <- { "return": "System" }
