Our 'file' chardev backend supports both "output from this chardev
is written to a file" and "input from this chardev should be read
from a file" (except on Windows). However, you can only set up
the input file if you're using the QMP interface -- there is no
command line syntax to do it.
Add command line syntax to allow specifying an input file
as well as an output file, using a new 'input-path' suboption.
The specific use case I have is that I'd like to be able to
feed fuzzer reproducer input into qtest without having to use
'-qtest stdio' and put the input onto stdin. Being able to
use a file chardev like this:
-chardev file,id=repro,path=/dev/null,input-path=repro.txt -qtest chardev:repro
means that stdio is free for use by gdb.

[thuth: Replace "input-file=" typo with "input-path="]

The has_FOO for pointer-valued FOO are redundant, except for arrays.
They are also a nuisance to work with. Recent commit "qapi: Start to
elide redundant has_FOO in generated C" provided the means to elide
them step by step. This is the step for qapi/char.json.
Said commit explains the transformation in more detail. The invariant
violations mentioned there do not occur here.

qemu-common.h includes qemu/option.h, but most places that include the
former don't actually need the latter. Drop the include, and add it
to the places that actually need it.
While there, drop superfluous includes of both headers, and
separate #include from file comment with a blank line.
This cleanup makes the number of objects depending on qemu/option.h
drop from 4545 (out of 4743) to 284 in my "build everything" tree.

So they are all in one place. The following patch will move serial &
parallel declarations to the respective headers.
