Links had limited utility before as they only allowed a concrete type to be
specified. Now we can support abstract types and interfaces which means it's
now possible to have a link<PCIDevice>.

This is mostly code movement although not entirely. This makes properties part
of the Object base class which means that we can now start using Object in a
meaningful way outside of qdev.

This class provides the main building block for QEMU Object Model and is
extensively documented in the header file. It is largely inspired by GObject.
