Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/philmd/tags/machine-20211101' into staging

Machine core patches

- Move GPIO code out of qdev.c
- Move hotplug code out of qdev.c
- Restrict various files to sysemu
- Move SMP code out of machine.c
- Add SMP parsing unit tests
- Move dynamic sysbus device check earlier

  tests/unit: Add an unit test for smp parsing
  hw/core/machine: Split out the smp parsing code
  hw/core: Restrict hotplug to system emulation
  hw/core: Extract hotplug-related functions to qdev-hotplug.c
  hw/core: Declare meson source set
  hw/core: Restrict sysemu specific files
  machine: Move gpio code to hw/core/gpio.c
