b4682a63f8 filemon: fix watch IDs to avoid potential wraparound issues
Watch IDs are allocated from incrementing a int counter against
the QFileMonitor object. In very long life QEMU processes with
a huge amount of USB MTP activity creating & deleting directories
it is just about conceivable that the int counter can wrap
around. This would result in incorrect behaviour of the file
monitor watch APIs due to clashing watch IDs.

Instead of trying to detect this situation, this patch changes
the way watch IDs are allocated. It is turned into an int64_t
variable where the high 32 bits are set from the underlying
inotify "int" ID. This gives an ID that is guaranteed unique
for the directory as a whole, and we can rely on the kernel
to enforce this. QFileMonitor then sets the low 32 bits from
a per-directory counter.

The USB MTP device only sets watches on the directory as a
whole, not files within, so there is no risk of guest
triggered wrap around on the low 32 bits.

55d869846d authz: add QAuthZListFile object type for a file access control list
Add a QAuthZListFile object type that implements the QAuthZ interface. This
built-in implementation is a proxy around the QAuthZList object type,
initializing it from an external file, and optionally, automatically
reloading it whenever it changes.

To create an instance of this object via the QMP monitor, the syntax
used would be:

      {
        "execute": "object-add",
        "arguments": {
          "qom-type": "authz-list-file",
          "id": "authz0",
          "props": {
            "filename": "/etc/qemu/vnc.acl",
	    "refresh": true
          }
        }
      }

If "refresh" is "yes", inotify is used to monitor the file,
automatically reloading changes. If an error occurs during reloading,
all authorizations will fail until the file is next successfully
loaded.

The /etc/qemu/vnc.acl file would contain a JSON representation of a
QAuthZList object

    {
      "rules": [
         { "match": "fred", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" },
         { "match": "bob", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" },
         { "match": "danb", "policy": "deny", "format": "glob" },
         { "match": "dan*", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" },
      ],
      "policy": "deny"
    }

This sets up an authorization rule that allows 'fred', 'bob' and anyone
whose name starts with 'dan', except for 'danb'. Everyone unmatched is
denied.

The object can be loaded on the comand line using

   -object authz-list-file,id=authz0,filename=/etc/qemu/vnc.acl,refresh=yes
