Compatibility properties started life as a qdev property thing: we
supported them only for qdev properties, and implemented them with the
machinery backing command line option -global.
Recent commit fa0cb34d22 put them to use (tacitly) with memory
backend objects (subtypes of TYPE_MEMORY_BACKEND). To make that
possible, we first moved the work of applying them from the -global
machinery into TYPE_DEVICE's .instance_post_init() method
device_post_init(), in commits ea9ce8934c and b66bbee39f, then made
it available to TYPE_MEMORY_BACKEND's .instance_post_init() method
host_memory_backend_post_init() as object_apply_compat_props(), in
commit 1c3994f6d2.
Note the code smell: we now have function name starting with object_
in hw/core/qdev.c. It has to be there rather than in qom/, because it
calls qdev_get_machine() to find the current accelerator's and
machine's compat_props.
Turns out calling qdev_get_machine() there is problematic. If we
qdev_create() from a machine's .instance_init() method, we call
device_post_init() and thus qdev_get_machine() before main() can
create "/machine" in QOM. qdev_get_machine() tries to get it with
container_get(), which "helpfully" creates it as "container" object,
and returns that. object_apply_compat_props() tries to paper over the
problem by doing nothing when the value of qdev_get_machine() isn't a
TYPE_MACHINE. But the damage is done already: when main() later
attempts to create the real "/machine", it fails with "attempt to add
duplicate property 'machine' to object (type 'container')", and
aborts.
Since no machine .instance_init() calls qdev_create() so far, the bug
is latent. But since I want to do that, I get to fix the bug first.
Observe that object_apply_compat_props() doesn't actually need the
MachineState, only its the compat_props member of its MachineClass and
AccelClass. This permits a simple fix: register MachineClass and
AccelClass compat_props with the object_apply_compat_props() machinery
right after these classes get selected.
This is actually similar to how things worked before commits
ea9ce8934c and b66bbee39f, except we now register much earlier. The
old code registered them only after the machine's .instance_init()
ran, which would've broken compatibility properties for any devices
created there.

Instead of deny build of QEMU without a default accelerator, simply
report an error when the user haven't passed -accel or -machine accel=
and TCG and KVM isn't builtin.
./configure already check that at least one accelerator is available.

When compiling with "--disable-tcg", we currently still use "tcg"
as default accelerator. "kvm" should be used in this case instead.
Also, some downstream distros provide QEMU binaries which have "kvm"
in their names (e.g. "qemu-kvm" on RHEL or "kvm" on Ubuntu) that use
KVM by default - and some users might want to do something similar
with upstream binaries, too. Accomodate them by using "kvm:tcg" as
default when we detect such a binary name.

Instead of registering compat properties as globals, let's keep them
in their own array, to avoid mixing with user globals.
Introduce object_apply_global_props() function, to apply compatibility
properties from a GPtrArray.

global_props is only used for Xen xen_compat_props. It's a static
array of GlobalProperty, like machine globals in SET_MACHINE_COMPAT().
Let's register the globals the same way, without extra copy allocation.

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.

[Semantic conflict with commit bdd6a90a9e in block/nvme.c resolved]
Only emit "XXX accelerator not found", if there are not
further accelerators listed. eg
accel=kvm:tcg
doesn't print a "KVM accelerator not found" warning
when it falls back to tcg, but a
accel=kvm
prints a warning, since no fallback is given.

Introduce this new field for the accelerator classes so that each
specific accelerator in the future can register its own global
properties to be used further by the system. It works just like how the
old machine compatible properties do, but only tailored for
accelerators.
Introduce register_compat_props_array() for it. Export it so that it may
be used in other codes as well in the future.
