qom/object: Limit type names to alphanumerical and some few special characters
QOM names currently don't have any enforced naming rules. This can be problematic, e.g. when they are used on the command line for the "-device" option (where the comma is used to separate properties). To avoid that such problematic type names come in again, let's restrict the set of acceptable characters during the type registration. Ideally, we'd apply here the same rules as for QAPI, i.e. all type names should begin with a letter, and contain only ASCII letters, digits, hyphen, and underscore. However, we already have so many pre-existing types like: 486-x86_64-cpu cfi.pflash01 power5+_v2.1-spapr-cpu-core virt-2.6-machine pc-i440fx-3.0-machine ... so that we have to allow "." and "+" for now, too. While the dot is used in a lot of places, the "+" can fortunately be limited to two classes of legacy names ("power" and "Sun-UltraSparc" CPUs). We also cannot enforce the rule that names must start with a letter yet, since there are lot of types that start with a digit. Still, at least limiting the first characters to the alphanumerical range should be way better than nothing.
