This patch adds a small typename cache to ObjectClass. This allows
caching positive casts within each ObjectClass. Benchmarking a
PPC workload provided by Aurelien, this patch eliminates every
single g_hash_table_lookup() happening during the benchmark (which
was about 2 million per-second).
With this patch applied, I get exactly the same performance (within
the margin of error) as with --disable-qom-cast-debug.
N.B. it's safe to cache typenames only from the _assert() macros
because they are always called with string literals.

Cast debugging can have a substantial cost (20% or more). Instead of adding
special-cased "fast casts" in the hot paths, we can just disable it in
releases. The tracing facilities we just added make it easier to analyze
those problems that cast debugging would reveal.

This lets a caller check if an ObjectClass as returned by, e.g.,
object_class_by_name() is instantiatable.

A usage with a hardcoded partial path such as
object_resolve_path_component(obj, "foo")
is totally valid but currently leads to a compilation error. Fix this.

Since 39bffca203 (qdev: register all
types natively through QEMU Object Model), TypeInfo as used in
the common, non-iterative pattern is no longer amended with information
and should therefore be const.
Fix the documented QOM examples:
sed -i 's/static TypeInfo/static const TypeInfo/g' include/qom/object.h
Since frequently the wrong examples are being copied by contributors of
new devices, fix all types in the tree:
sed -i 's/^static TypeInfo/static const TypeInfo/g' */*.c
sed -i 's/^static TypeInfo/static const TypeInfo/g' */*/*.c
This also avoids to piggy-back these changes onto real functional
changes or other refactorings.
