qom: Add an object_property_add_enum() helper function

A QOM property can be parsed as enum using the visit_type_enum()
helper function, but this forces callers to use the more complex
generic object_property_add() method when registering it. It
also requires that users of that object have access to the
string map when they want to read the property value.

This patch introduces a specialized object_property_add_enum()
method which simplifies the use of enum properties, so the
setters/getters directly get passed the int value.

  typedef enum {
     MYDEV_TYPE_FROG,
     MYDEV_TYPE_ALLIGATOR,
     MYDEV_TYPE_PLATYPUS,

     MYDEV_TYPE_LAST
  } MyDevType;

Then provide a table of enum <-> string mappings

  static const char *const mydevtypemap[MYDEV_TYPE_LAST + 1] = {
     [MYDEV_TYPE_FROG] = "frog",
     [MYDEV_TYPE_ALLIGATOR] = "alligator",
     [MYDEV_TYPE_PLATYPUS] = "platypus",
     [MYDEV_TYPE_LAST] = NULL,
  };

Assuming an object struct of

   typedef struct {
      Object parent_obj;
      MyDevType devtype;
      ...other fields...
   } MyDev;

The property can then be registered as follows:

   static int mydev_prop_get_devtype(Object *obj,
                                     Error **errp G_GNUC_UNUSED)
   {
       MyDev *dev = MYDEV(obj);

       return dev->devtype;
   }

   static void mydev_prop_set_devtype(Object *obj,
                                      int value,
                                      Error **errp G_GNUC_UNUSED)
   {
       MyDev *dev = MYDEV(obj);

       dev->devtype = value;
   }

   object_property_add_enum(obj, "devtype",
                            mydevtypemap, "MyDevType",
                            mydev_prop_get_devtype,
                            mydev_prop_set_devtype,
                            NULL);

Note there is no need to check the range of 'value' in
the setter, because the string->enum conversion code will
have already done that and reported an error as required.
