qapi: net: add stream and dgram netdevs
Copied from socket netdev file and modified to use SocketAddress to be able to introduce new features like unix socket. "udp" and "mcast" are squashed into dgram netdev, multicast is detected according to the IP address type. "listen" and "connect" modes are managed by stream netdev. An optional parameter "server" defines the mode (off by default) The two new types need to be parsed the modern way with -netdev, because with the traditional way, the "type" field of netdev structure collides with the "type" field of SocketAddress and prevents the correct evaluation of the command line option. Moreover the traditional way doesn't allow to use the same type (SocketAddress) several times with the -netdev option (needed to specify "local" and "remote" addresses). The previous commit paved the way for parsing the modern way, but omitted one detail: how to pick modern vs. traditional, in netdev_is_modern(). We want to pick based on the value of parameter "type". But how to extract it from the option argument? Parsing the option argument, either the modern or the traditional way, extracts it for us, but only if parsing succeeds. If parsing fails, there is no good option. No matter which parser we pick, it'll be the wrong one for some arguments, and the error reporting will be confusing. Fortunately, the traditional parser accepts *anything* when called in a certain way. This maximizes our chance to extract the value of "type", and in turn minimizes the risk of confusing error reporting.
