start switching chardevs to QemuOpts. This patch adds the
infrastructure and converts the null device.
The patch brings two new functions:
qemu_chr_open_opts()
same as qemu_chr_open(), but uses QemuOpts instead of a
option char string.
qemu_chr_parse_compat()
accepts a traditional chardev option string, returns the
corresponding QemuOpts instance, to handle backward
compatibility.
The patch also adds a new -chardev switch which can be used to create
named+unconnected chardevs, like this:
-chardev null,id=test
This uses the new qemu_chr_open_opts. Thus with this patch alone only
the null device works. The other devices will follow ...

qemu-option.h has no protection against including it twice.
This patch adds the usual "#ifndef header" bits.

Make -device switch use the QemuOpts framework.
Everything should continue to work like it did before.
New: "-set device.$id.$property=$value" works.

One use case will be file for drives (no filename quoting issues), i.e.
-drive id=test,if=virtio
-set drive.test.file=/vmdisk/test-virtio.img
It will work for any other option (assuming handled by QemuOpts) though.
Except for id= for obvious reasons ;).

Move drive option description there.
Rename it, give it a qemu_ prefix.
