When you try to set virtio-rng property "filename" after the backend
has been completed with user_creatable_complete(), the error message
blames "insufficient permission":
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -S -display none -nodefaults -monitor stdio -object rng-random,id=rng0 -device virtio-rng,id=vrng0,rng=rng0
QEMU 7.1.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) qom-set /objects/rng0 filename /dev/random
Error: Insufficient permission to perform this operation
This implies it could work with "sufficient permission". It can't.
Change the error message to:
Error: Property 'filename' can no longer be set
Same for cryptodev-vhost-user property "chardev", rng-egd property
"chardev", and vhost-user-backend property "chardev".

[Commit message tidied up]
This allows callers to return better error messages instead of making
one up while the real error ends up on stderr. Most callers can
immediately make use of this because they already have an Error
parameter themselves. The others just keep printing the error with
error_report_err().

Class properties make QOM introspection simpler and easier, as

The requirement to specify the parent class type makes the macro
harder to use and easy to misuse (silent bugs can be introduced
if the wrong struct type is specified).
Simplify the macro by just not declaring any class struct,
allowing us to remove the class_size field from the TypeInfo
variables for those types.

The only way object_property_add() can fail is when a property with
the same name already exists. Since our property names are all
hardcoded, failure is a programming error, and the appropriate way to
handle it is passing &error_abort.
Same for its variants, except for object_property_add_child(), which
additionally fails when the child already has a parent. Parentage is
also under program control, so this is a programming error, too.
We have a bit over 500 callers. Almost half of them pass
&error_abort, slightly fewer ignore errors, one test case handles
errors, and the remaining few callers pass them to their own callers.
The previous few commits demonstrated once again that ignoring
programming errors is a bad idea.
Of the few ones that pass on errors, several violate the Error API.
The Error ** argument must be NULL, &error_abort, &error_fatal, or a
pointer to a variable containing NULL. Passing an argument of the
latter kind twice without clearing it in between is wrong: if the
first call sets an error, it no longer points to NULL for the second
call. ich9_pm_add_properties(), sparc32_ledma_realize(),
sparc32_dma_realize(), xilinx_axidma_realize(), xilinx_enet_realize()
are wrong that way.
When the one appropriate choice of argument is &error_abort, letting
users pick the argument is a bad idea.
Drop parameter @errp and assert the preconditions instead.
There's one exception to "duplicate property name is a programming
error": the way object_property_add() implements the magic (and
undocumented) "automatic arrayification". Don't drop @errp there.
Instead, rename object_property_add() to object_property_try_add(),
and add the obvious wrapper object_property_add().

[Two semantic rebase conflicts resolved]
Similar rational to: e6cc11d64f
For vhost scsi and vhost-user-scsi an issue was observed
where, of the 3 virtqueues, seabios would only set cmd,
leaving ctrl and event without a physical address.
This can caused vhost_verify_ring_part_mapping to return
ENOMEM, causing the following logs:
qemu-system-x86_64: Unable to map available ring for ring 0
qemu-system-x86_64: Verify ring failure on region 0
The issue has already been fixed elsewhere, but it was noted
that in backends/vhost-user.c, the vhost_user_backend_dev_init()
function, which other vdevs use in their realize() to initialize
their vqs, was not being properly zeroing out the queues. This
commit ensures hardware modules using the
vhost_user_backend_dev_init() API properly zero out their vqs on
initialization.

In my "build everything" tree, changing hw/qdev-properties.h triggers
a recompile of some 2700 out of 6600 objects (not counting tests and
objects that don't depend on qemu/osdep.h).
Many places including hw/qdev-properties.h (directly or via hw/qdev.h)
actually need only hw/qdev-core.h. Include hw/qdev-core.h there
instead.
hw/qdev.h is actually pointless: all it does is include hw/qdev-core.h
and hw/qdev-properties.h, which in turn includes hw/qdev-core.h.
Replace the remaining uses of hw/qdev.h by hw/qdev-properties.h.
While there, delete a few superfluous inclusions of hw/qdev-core.h.
Touching hw/qdev-properties.h now recompiles some 1200 objects.

Create a vhost-user-backend object that holds a connection to a
vhost-user backend (or "slave" process) and can be referenced from
virtio devices that support it. See later patches for input & gpu
usage.
Note: a previous iteration of this object made it user-creatable, and
allowed managed sub-process spawning, but that has been dropped for
now.
