While id is NULL, qemu_opts_create can not fail, so ignore
errors is fine.

For command line options which permit '?' meaning 'please list the
permitted values', add support for 'help' as a synonym, by abstracting
the check out into a helper function.
This change means that in some cases where we were being lazy in
our string parsing, "?junk" will now be rejected as an invalid option
rather than being (undocumentedly) treated the same way as "?".
Update the documentation to use 'help' rather than '?', since '?'
is a shell metacharacter and thus prone to fail confusingly if there
is a single character filename in the current working directory and
the '?' has not been escaped. It's therefore better to steer users
towards 'help', though '?' is retained for backwards compatibility.
We do not, however, update the output of the system emulator's -help
(or any documentation autogenerated from the qemu-options.hx which
is the source of the -help text) because libvirt parses our -help
output and will break. At a later date when QEMU provides a better
interface so libvirt can avoid having to do this, we can update the
-help text too.

This is like qemu_opt_set(), except that it takes an Error argument.
This new function allows for a incremental conversion of code using
qemu_opt_set().

net_client_init() propagates the error up by calling qerror_report_err(),

This commit converts qemu_opts_create() from qerror_report() to
error_set().
Currently, most calls to qemu_opts_create() can't fail, so most
callers don't need any changes.
The two cases where code checks for qemu_opts_create() erros are:
1. Initialization code in vl.c. All of them print their own
error messages directly to stderr, no need to pass the Error
object
2. The functions opts_parse(), qemu_opts_from_qdict() and
qemu_chr_parse_compat() make use of the error information and
they can be called from HMP or QMP. In this case, to allow for
incremental conversion, we propagate the error up using
qerror_report_err(), which keeps the QError semantics

Add support for option lists which are merged together, so that
"-listname foo=bar -listname bar=baz" is equivalent to "-listname
foo=bar,bar=baz" rather than generating two separate lists of options.

This adds qemu_opts_set_defaults, an interface provide default values
for a QemuOpts set. Default options are parsed from a string and then
prepended to the list of existing options, or they serve as the sole
QemuOpts set.

This patch enables protocol drivers to use their create options which
are not supported by the format. For example, protcol drivers can use

We sometimes permit omitting the first option name, for example
-device foo is short for -device driver=foo. The name to use
("driver" in the example) is passed as argument to qemu_opts_parse().
For each QemuOptsList, we use at most one such name.
Move the name into QemuOptsList, and pass whether to permit the
abbreviation. This ensures continued consistency, and simplifies the
commit after next in this series.
Several qemu command line options have a parameter whose value affects
what other parameters are accepted for the option.
In these cases, we can have an empty description table in the
QemuOptsList and once the option has been parsed we can use a suitable
description table to validate the other parameters based on the value of
that parameter.

Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are
some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have
been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been
introduced in the commits 15cc923584,
f40d753718,
96555a96d7 and
3990d09adf but the fixes were fragile.
Solution: Avoid the conflict entirely by renaming the functions and the
file. Revert the previous hacks.

This stores device parameters in a better way than unparsed strings.
New types:
QemuOpt - one key-value pair.
QemuOpts - group of key-value pairs, belonging to one
device, i.e. one drive.
QemuOptsList - list of some kind of devices, i.e. all drives.
Functions are provided to work with these types. The plan is that some
day we will pass around QemuOpts pointers instead of strings filled with
"key1=value1,key2=value2".
Check out the next patch to see all this in action ;)

This patch creates a new header file and the corresponding implementation file
for parsing of parameter strings for options (like used in -drive). Part of
this is code moved from vl.c (so qemu-img can use it later).
The idea is to have a data structure describing all accepted parameters. When
parsing a parameter string, the structure is copied and filled with the
parameter values.
