monitor: fix object_del for command-line-created objects

Currently objects specified on the command-line are only partially
cleaned up when 'object_del' is issued in either HMP or QMP: the
object itself is fully finalized, but the QemuOpts are not removed.
This results in the following behavior:

  x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -monitor stdio \
    -object memory-backend-ram,id=ram1,size=256M

  QEMU 2.7.91 monitor - type 'help' for more information
  (qemu) object_del ram1
  (qemu) object_del ram1
  object 'ram1' not found
  (qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram1,size=256M
  Duplicate ID 'ram1' for object
  Try "help object_add" for more information

which can be an issue for use-cases like memory hotplug.

This happens on the HMP side because hmp_object_add() attempts to
create a temporary QemuOpts entry with ID 'ram1', which ends up
conflicting with the command-line-created entry, since it was never
cleaned up during the previous hmp_object_del() call.

We address this by adding a check in user_creatable_del(), which
is called by both qmp_object_del() and hmp_object_del() to handle
the actual object cleanup, to determine whether an option group entry
matching the object's ID is present and removing it if it is.

Note that qmp_object_add() never attempts to create a temporary
QemuOpts entry, so it does not encounter the duplicate ID error,
which is why this isn't generally visible in libvirt.
