If the -qtest command line argument is passed a string that says
"use this chardev for I/O", then it will assert:
$ ./build/clang/qemu-system-i386 -chardev file,path=/dev/null,id=myid -qtest chardev:myid
Unexpected error in qtest_set_chardev() at ../../softmmu/qtest.c:1011:
qemu-system-i386: Cannot find character device 'qtest'
Aborted (core dumped)
This is because in qtest_server_init() we assume that when we create
the chardev with qemu_chr_new() it will always have the name "qtest".
This is true if qemu_chr_new() had to create a new chardev, but not
true if one already existed and is being referred to with
"chardev:myid".
Use the name of the chardev we get back from qemu_chr_new() as the
string to set the qtest 'chardev' property to, instead of hardcoding
it to "qtest".
