qmp: Print descriptions of object properties

Add a new "description" field to DevicePropertyInfo.
The descriptions can serve as documentation in the code,
and they can be used to provide better help. For example:

$./qemu-system-x86_64 -device virtio-blk-pci,?

Before this patch:

virtio-blk-pci.iothread=link<iothread>
virtio-blk-pci.x-data-plane=bool

virtio-blk-pci.opt_io_size=uint32
virtio-blk-pci.min_io_size=uint16
virtio-blk-pci.physical_block_size=uint16 (A power of two between 512 and 32768)
virtio-blk-pci.logical_block_size=uint16 (A power of two between 512 and 32768)
virtio-blk-pci.drive=str (ID of a drive to use as a backend)
virtio-blk-pci.virtio-backend=child<virtio-blk-device>
virtio-blk-pci.command_serr_enable=bool (on/off)
virtio-blk-pci.multifunction=bool (on/off)
virtio-blk-pci.rombar=uint32
virtio-blk-pci.romfile=str
virtio-blk-pci.addr=int32 (Slot and optional function number, example: 06.0 or 06)
virtio-blk-pci.event_idx=bool (on/off)
virtio-blk-pci.indirect_desc=bool (on/off)
virtio-blk-pci.vectors=uint32
virtio-blk-pci.ioeventfd=bool (on/off)
virtio-blk-pci.class=uint32
