Subject: qom: Add object_new_with_props() / object_new_withpropv() helpers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

It is reasonably common to want to create an object, set a
number of properties, register it in the hierarchy and then
mark it as complete (if a user creatable type). This requires
quite a lot of error prone, verbose, boilerplate code to achieve.

First a pair of functions object_set_props() / object_set_propv()
are added which allow for a list of objects to be set in
one single API call.

Then object_new_with_props() / object_new_with_propv() constructors
are added which simplify the sequence of calls to create an
object, populate properties, register in the object composition
tree and mark the object complete, into a single method call.

Usage would be:

   Error *err = NULL;
   Object *obj;
   obj = object_new_with_propv(TYPE_MEMORY_BACKEND_FILE,
                               object_get_objects_root(),
                               "hostmem0",
                               &err,
                               "share", "yes",
                               "mem-path", "/dev/shm/somefile",
                               "prealloc", "yes",
                               "size", "1048576",
                               NULL);

Note all property values are passed in string form and will
be parsed into their required data types, using normal QOM
semantics for parsing from string format.
