9884abee8f crypto: register properties against the class instead of object
This converts the tlscredsx509, tlscredsanon and secret objects
to register their properties against the class rather than object.

42f7a448db crypto: Clean up includes
Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers
which it implies are not included manually.

This commit was created with scripts/clean-includes.

d341d9f306 fpu: Replace uint8 typedef with uint8_t
Replace the uint8 softfloat-specific typedef with uint8_t.
This change was made with

find include hw fpu target-* -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -i -e 's/\buint8\b/uint8_t/g'

together with manual removal of the typedef definition and
manual fixing of more erroneous uses found via test compilation.

It turns out that the only code using this type is an accidental
use where uint8_t was intended anyway...

ac1d887849 crypto: add QCryptoSecret object class for password/key handling
Introduce a new QCryptoSecret object class which will be used
for providing passwords and keys to other objects which need
sensitive credentials.

The new object can provide secret values directly as properties,
or indirectly via a file. The latter includes support for file
descriptor passing syntax on UNIX platforms. Ordinarily passing
secret values directly as properties is insecure, since they
are visible in process listings, or in log files showing the
CLI args / QMP commands. It is possible to use AES-256-CBC to
encrypt the secret values though, in which case all that is
visible is the ciphertext.  For ad hoc developer testing though,
it is fine to provide the secrets directly without encryption
so this is not explicitly forbidden.

The anticipated scenario is that libvirtd will create a random
master key per QEMU instance (eg /var/run/libvirt/qemu/$VMNAME.key)
and will use that key to encrypt all passwords it provides to
QEMU via '-object secret,....'.  This avoids the need for libvirt
(or other mgmt apps) to worry about file descriptor passing.

It also makes life easier for people who are scripting the
management of QEMU, for whom FD passing is significantly more
complex.

Providing data inline (insecure, only for ad hoc dev testing)

  $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein

Providing data indirectly in raw format

  printf "letmein" > mypasswd.txt
  $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=mypasswd.txt

Providing data indirectly in base64 format

  $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=mykey.b64,format=base64

Providing data with encryption

  $QEMU -object secret,id=master0,file=mykey.b64,format=base64 \
        -object secret,id=sec0,data=[base64 ciphertext],\
	           keyid=master0,iv=[base64 IV],format=base64

Note that 'format' here refers to the format of the ciphertext
data. The decrypted data must always be in raw byte format.

More examples are shown in the updated docs.
