keyval: Parse help options
This adds a special meaning for 'help' and '?' as options to the keyval
parser. Instead of being an error (because of a missing value) or a
value for an implied key, they now request help, which is a new boolean
output of the parser in addition to the QDict.
A new parameter 'p_help' is added to keyval_parse() that contains on
return whether help was requested. If NULL is passed, requesting help
results in an error and all other cases work like before.
Turning previous error cases into help is a compatible extension. The
behaviour potentially changes for implied keys: They could previously
get 'help' as their value, which is now interpreted as requesting help.
This is not a problem in practice because 'help' and '?' are not a valid
values for the implied key of any option parsed with keyval_parse():
* audiodev: union Audiodev, implied key "driver" is enum AudiodevDriver,
"help" and "?" are not among its values
* display: union DisplayOptions, implied key "type" is enum
DisplayType, "help" and "?" are not among its values
* blockdev: union BlockdevOptions, implied key "driver is enum
BlockdevDriver, "help" and "?" are not among its values
* export: union BlockExport, implied key "type" is enum BlockExportType,
"help" and "?" are not among its values
* monitor: struct MonitorOptions, implied key "mode" is enum MonitorMode,
"help" and "?" are not among its values
* nbd-server: struct NbdServerOptions, no implied key.
