The spapr-rng device is suboptimal when compared to virtio-rng, so
users might want to disable it in their builds. Thus let's introduce
a proper CONFIG switch to allow us to compile QEMU without this device.
The function spapr_rng_populate_dt is required for linking, so move it
to a different location.

Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the
Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h
everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into
possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include
any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h,
compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a
similar job to this file and are under similar constraints."
qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to
similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of
100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need.
Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of
qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't
get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List.
Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match
reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h,
sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h
comment quoted above similarly.
This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all
of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on
qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one.

Since commit "60253ed1e6ec rng: add request queue support to rng-random",
the use of a spapr_rng device may hang vCPU threads.
The following path is taken without holding the lock to the main loop mutex:
h_random()
rng_backend_request_entropy()
rng_random_request_entropy()
qemu_set_fd_handler()
The consequence is that entropy_available() may be called before the vCPU
thread could even queue the request: depending on the scheduling, it may
happen that entropy_available() does not call random_recv()->qemu_sem_post().
The vCPU thread will then sleep forever in h_random()->qemu_sem_wait().
This could not happen before 60253ed1e6 because entropy_available() used
to call random_recv() unconditionally.
This patch ensures the lock is held to avoid the race.

It is currently possible to hotplug a spapr_rng device but QEMU crashes
when we try to hot unplug:
ERROR:hw/core/qdev.c:295:qdev_unplug: assertion failed: (hotplug_ctrl)
Aborted
This happens because spapr_rng isn't plugged to any bus and sPAPR does
not provide hotplug support for it: qdev_get_hotplug_handler() hence
return NULL and we hit the assertion.
And anyway, it doesn't make much sense to unplug this device since hcalls
cannot be unregistered. Even the idea of hotplugging a RNG device instead
of declaring it on the QEMU command line looks weird.
This patch simply disables hotpluggability for the spapr-rng class.

The PAPR interface defines a hypercall to pass high-quality
hardware generated random numbers to guests. Recent kernels can
already provide this hypercall to the guest if the right hardware
random number generator is available. But in case the user wants
to use another source like EGD, or QEMU is running with an older
kernel, we should also have this call in QEMU, so that guests that
do not support virtio-rng yet can get good random numbers, too.
This patch now adds a new pseudo-device to QEMU that either
directly provides this hypercall to the guest or is able to
enable the in-kernel hypercall if available. The in-kernel
hypercall can be enabled with the use-kvm property, e.g.:
qemu-system-ppc64 -device spapr-rng,use-kvm=true
For handling the hypercall in QEMU instead, a "RngBackend" is
required since the hypercall should provide "good" random data
instead of pseudo-random (like from a "simple" library function
like rand() or g_random_int()). Since there are multiple RngBackends
available, the user must select an appropriate back-end via the
"rng" property of the device, e.g.:
qemu-system-ppc64 -object rng-random,filename=/dev/hwrng,id=gid0 \
-device spapr-rng,rng=gid0 ...
See http://wiki.qemu-project.org/Features-Done/VirtIORNG for
other example of specifying RngBackends.
