softmmu: fix device deletion events with -device JSON syntax

The -device JSON syntax impl leaks a reference on the created
DeviceState instance. As a result when you hot-unplug the
device, the device_finalize method won't be called and thus
it will fail to emit the required DEVICE_DELETED event.

A 'json-cli' feature was previously added against the
'device_add' QMP command QAPI schema to indicated to mgmt
apps that -device supported JSON syntax. Given the hotplug
bug that feature flag is not usable for its purpose, so
we add a new 'json-cli-hotplug' feature to indicate the
-device supports JSON without breaking hotplug.
