switch chardev to QemuOpts: infrastructure, null device

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 ...
