This simplifies removing a backend for a frontend user (no need to
retrieve the associated driver and separate delete call etc).
NB: many frontends have questionable handling of ending a chardev. They
should probably delete the backend to prevent broken reusage.

Move all the frontend struct and methods to a seperate unit. This avoids
accidentally mixing backend and frontend calls, and helps with readabilty.
Make qemu_chr_replay() a macro shared by both char and char-fe.
Export qemu_chr_write(), and use a macro for qemu_chr_write_all()
(nb: yes, CharBackend is for char frontend :)

SocketAddressLegacy is a simple union, and simple unions are awkward:
they have their variant members wrapped in a "data" object on the
wire, and require additional indirections in C. SocketAddress is the
equivalent flat union. Convert all users of SocketAddressLegacy to
SocketAddress, except for existing external interfaces.

No need to keep explicit_fe_open around if it affects only a
qemu_chr_fe_set_handlers(). Use an additional argument instead.
