qom: enforce readonly nature of link's check callback

link's check callback is supposed to verify/permit setting it,
however currently nothing restricts it from misusing it
and modifying target object from within.
Make sure that readonly semantics are checked by compiler
to prevent callback's misuse.

include/qemu/osdep.h: Don't include qapi/error.h

Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the
Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h
everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into
possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include
any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h,
compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a
similar job to this file and are under similar constraints."
qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to
similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of
100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need.

Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of
qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't
get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List.

Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match
reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h,
sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h
comment quoted above similarly.

This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all
of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on
qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one.

qom: Swap 'name' next to visitor in ObjectPropertyAccessor

Similar to the previous patch, it's nice to have all functions
in the tree that involve a visitor and a name for conversion to
or from QAPI to consistently stick the 'name' parameter next
to the Visitor parameter.

Done by manually changing include/qom/object.h and qom/object.c,
then running this Coccinelle script and touching up the fallout
(Coccinelle insisted on adding some trailing whitespace).

qom: Change object property iterator API contract

Currently the ObjectProperty iterator API works as follows:

ObjectPropertyIterator *iter;

iter = object_property_iter_init(obj);
while ((prop = object_property_iter_next(iter))) {
...
}
object_property_iter_free(iter);

This has the benefit that the ObjectPropertyIterator struct
can be opaque, but has the downside that callers need to
explicitly call a free function. It is also not in keeping
with iterator style used elsewhere in QEMU/GLib2.

This patch changes the API to use stack allocation instead:

ObjectPropertyIterator iter;

object_property_iter_init(&iter, obj);
while ((prop = object_property_iter_next(&iter))) {
...
}

qom: Allow properties to be registered against classes

When there are many instances of a given class, registering
properties against the instance is wasteful of resources. The
majority of objects have a statically defined list of possible
properties, so most of the properties are easily registerable
against the class. Only those properties which are conditionally
registered at runtime need be recorded against the klass.

Registering properties against classes also makes it possible
to provide static introspection of QOM - currently introspection
is only possible after creating an instance of a class, which
severely limits its usefulness.

This impl only supports simple scalar properties. It does not
attempt to allow child object / link object properties against
the class. There are ways to support those too, but it would
make this patch more complicated, so it is left as an exercise
for the future.

There is no equivalent to object_property_del() provided, since
classes must be immutable once they are defined.
