QEMU_CHAR_FEATURE_GCONTEXT declares the character device can switch
GMainContext.
Assert we don't switch context when the character device doesn't
provide this feature. Character device users must not violate this
restriction. In particular, user configurations that violate them
must be rejected.
Existing frontend that rely on context switching would now assert() if
the backend doesn't allow it (instead of silently producing undesired
events in the default context). Following patches improve the
situation by reporting an error earlier instead, on the frontend side.

This is mostly for readability of the code. Let's make it clear which
callers can create an implicit monitor when the chardev is muxed.
This will also enforce a safer behaviour, as we don't really support
creating monitor anywhere/anytime at the moment. Add an assert() to
make sure the programmer explicitely wanted that behaviour.
There are documented cases, such as: -serial/-parallel/-virtioconsole
and to less extent -debugcon.
Less obvious and questionable ones are -gdb, SLIRP -guestfwd and Xen
console. Add a FIXME note for those, but keep the support for now.
Other qemu_chr_new() callers either have a fixed parameter/filename
string or do not need it, such as -qtest:
* qtest.c: qtest_init()
Afaik, only used by tests/libqtest.c, without mux. I don't think we
support it outside of qemu testing: drop support for implicit mux
monitor (qemu_chr_new() call: no implicit mux now).
* hw/
All with literal @filename argument that doesn't enable mux monitor.
* tests/
All with @filename argument that doesn't enable mux monitor.
On a related note, the list of monitor creation places:
- the chardev creators listed above: all from command line (except
perhaps Xen console?)
- -gdb & hmp gdbserver will create a "GDB monitor command" chardev
that is wired to an HMP monitor.
- -mon command line option
From this short study, I would like to think that a monitor may only
be created in the main thread today, though I remain skeptical :)

Introduce ChardevClass.chr_machine_done() hook so that chardevs can run
customized procedures after machine init.
There was an existing mux user already that did similar thing but used a
raw machine done notifier. Generalize it into a framework, and let the
mux chardevs provide such a class-specific hook to achieve the same
thing. Then we can move the mux related code to the char-mux.c file.
Since at it, replace the mux_realized variable with the global
machine_init_done varible.
This notifier framework will be further leverged by other type of
chardevs soon.

In my "build everything" tree, a change to the types in
qapi-schema.json triggers a recompile of about 4800 out of 5100
objects.
The previous commit split up qmp-commands.h, qmp-event.h, qmp-visit.h,
qapi-types.h. Each of these headers still includes all its shards.
Reduce compile time by including just the shards we actually need.
To illustrate the benefits: adding a type to qapi/migration.json now
recompiles some 2300 instead of 4800 objects. The next commit will

[Semantic conflict with commit bdd6a90a9e in block/nvme.c resolved]
It's a replacement of g_timeout_add[_seconds]() for chardevs. Chardevs
now can have dedicated gcontext, we should always bind chardev tasks
onto those gcontext rather than the default main context. Since there
are quite a few of g_timeout_add[_seconds]() callers, a new function
qemu_chr_timeout_add_ms() is introduced.
One thing to mention is that, terminal3270 is still always running on
main gcontext. However let's convert that as well since it's still part
of chardev codes and in case one day we'll miss that when we move it out
of main gcontext too.
Also, convert all the timers from GSource tags into GSource pointers.
Gsource tag IDs and g_source_remove()s can only work with default
gcontext, while now these GSources can logically be attached to other
contexts. So let's use explicit g_source_destroy() plus another
g_source_unref() to remove a timer.
Note: when in the timer handler, we don't need the g_source_destroy()
any more since that'll be done automatically if the timer handler
returns false (and that's what all the current handlers do).
Yet another note: in pty_chr_rearm_timer() we take special care for
ms=1000. This patch merged the two cases into one.

Kirill noticied that on recent versions on QEMU he was not able to
trigger SysRq to invoke debug capabilites of Linux Kernel. He tracked
it down to qemu_chr_be_event() ignoring CHR_EVENT_BREAK due s->be
being NULL. The bug was introduced in 2.8, commit a4afa548fc ("char:
move front end handlers in CharBackend"). Since the commit, the
qemu_chr_be_event() failed to deliver CHR_EVENT_BREAK due to
qemu_chr_fe_init() does not set s->be in case of mux.
Let's fix this by teaching mux to send an event to the frontend with
the focus.

It caches the gcontext that is used to poll the chardev IO. Before this
patch, we only passed it in via chr_update_read_handlers(). However
that may not be enough if the char backend is disconnected and
reconnected afterward. There are chardev codes that still assumed the
context be NULL (which is the main context). Will fix that up in
following up patches.

This patch adds a possibility to change a char device without a frontend
removal.
Ideally, it would have to happen transparently to a frontend, i.e.
frontend would continue its regular operation.
However, backends are not stateless and are set up by the frontends
via qemu_chr_fe_<> functions, and it's not (generally) possible to replay
that setup entirely in a backend code, as different chardevs respond
to the setup calls differently, so do frontends work differently basing
on those setup responses.
Moreover, some frontend can generally get and save the backend pointer
(qemu_chr_fe_get_driver()), and it will become invalid after backend change.
So, a frontend which would like to support chardev hotswap has to register
a "backend change" handler, and redo its backend setup there.
