This patch is a major overhaul of the device properties. The properties
are saved directly in the device state struct now, the linked list of
property values is gone.
Advantages:
* We don't have to maintain the list with the property values.
* The value in the property list and the value actually used by
the device can't go out of sync any more (used to happen for
the pci.devfn == -1 case) because there is only one place where
the value is stored.
* A record describing the property is required now, you can't set
random properties any more.
There are bus-specific and device-specific properties. The former
should be used for properties common to all bus drivers. Typical
use case is bus addressing, i.e. pci.devfn and i2c.address.
Properties have a PropertyInfo struct attached with name, size and
function pointers to parse and print properties. A few common property
types have PropertyInfos defined in qdev-properties.c. Drivers are free
to implement their own very special property parsers if needed.
Properties can have default values. If unset they are zero-filled.

destroy_nic() requires that NICInfo::private by a PCIDevice pointer,
but then goes on to require that the same pointer matches
VLANClientState::opaque.
That is no longer the case for virtio-net since qdev and wasn't
previously the case for rtl8139, ne2k_pci or eepro100.
Make the situation a lot more clear by maintaining a VLANClientState
pointer in NICInfo.

The only purpose DeviceType serves is creating a linked list of
DeviceInfo structs. This removes DeviceType and add a next field to
DeviceInfo instead, so the DeviceInfo structs can be changed that way.
Elimitates a pointless extra level of indirection.

BusInfo is filled with name and size (pretty much like I did for
DeviceInfo as well). There is also a function pointer to print
bus-specific device information to the monitor. sysbus is hooked
up there, I've also added a print function for PCI.
Device creation is slightly modified as well: The device type search
loop now also checks the bus type while scanning the list instead of
complaining thereafter in case of a mismatch. This effectively gives
each bus a private namespace for device names.

Rationale: move device information from code to data structures.
v2: Adapt the drivers missed in the first version.

VLANClientState's fd_read() handler doesn't read from file
descriptors, it adds a buffer to the client's receive queue.
Re-name the handlers to make things a little less confusing.

This, apparently, is the style we prefer - all VLANClientState
should be an argument to qemu_new_vlan_client().

We have both IRQ sinks and GPIO inputs. These are in principle exactly
the same thing, so remove the former.

Implement and use a common device bus state. The main side-effect is
that creating a bus and attaching it to a parent device are no longer
separate operations. For legacy code we allow a NULL parent, but that
should go away eventually.
Also tweak creation code to veriry theat a device in on the right bus.
