Marc-André Lureau 4df8161673 qom: introduce object_property_help() 
Let's factor out the code to format a help string for a property. We
are going to reuse it in qdev next, which will bring some consistency.

/**
* SECTION:object.h
* @title:Base Object Type System
* @short_description: interfaces for creating new types and objects
*
* The QEMU Object Model provides a framework for registering user creatable
* types and instantiating objects from those types. QOM provides the following
* features:
*
* - System for dynamically registering types
* - Support for single-inheritance of types
* - Multiple inheritance of stateless interfaces
*
* <example>
* <title>Creating a minimal type</title>
* <programlisting>
* #include "qdev.h"
*
* #define TYPE_MY_DEVICE "my-device"
*
* // No new virtual functions: we can reuse the typedef for the
* // superclass.
* typedef DeviceClass MyDeviceClass;
* typedef struct MyDevice
* {
* DeviceState parent;
*
* int reg0, reg1, reg2;
* } MyDevice;
*
* static const TypeInfo my_device_info = {
* .name = TYPE_MY_DEVICE,
* .parent = TYPE_DEVICE,
* .instance_size = sizeof(MyDevice),
* };
*
* static void my_device_register_types(void)
* {
* type_register_static(&my_device_info);
* }
*
* type_init(my_device_register_types)
* </programlisting>
* </example>
*
* In the above example, we create a simple type that is described by #TypeInfo.
* #TypeInfo describes information about the type including what it inherits
* from, the instance and class size, and constructor/destructor hooks.
*
* Alternatively several static types could be registered using helper macro
* DEFINE_TYPES()
*
* <example>
* <programlisting>
* static const TypeInfo device_types_info[] = {
* {
* .name = TYPE_MY_DEVICE_A,
* .parent = TYPE_DEVICE,
* .instance_size = sizeof(MyDeviceA),
* },
* {
* .name = TYPE_MY_DEVICE_B,
* .parent = TYPE_DEVICE,
* .instance_size = sizeof(MyDeviceB),
* },
* };
*
* DEFINE_TYPES(device_types_info)
* </programlisting>
* </example>
*
* Every type has an #ObjectClass associated with it. #ObjectClass derivatives
* are instantiated dynamically but there is only ever one instance for any
* given type. The #ObjectClass typically holds a table of function pointers
* for the virtual methods implemented by this type.
*
* Using object_new(), a new #Object derivative will be instantiated. You can
* cast an #Object to a subclass (or base-class) type using
* object_dynamic_cast(). You typically want to define macro wrappers around
* OBJECT_CHECK() and OBJECT_CLASS_CHECK() to make it easier to convert to a
* specific type:
*
* <example>
* <title>Typecasting macros</title>
* <programlisting>
* #define MY_DEVICE_GET_CLASS(obj) \
* OBJECT_GET_CLASS(MyDeviceClass, obj, TYPE_MY_DEVICE)
* #define MY_DEVICE_CLASS(klass) \
* OBJECT_CLASS_CHECK(MyDeviceClass, klass, TYPE_MY_DEVICE)
* #define MY_DEVICE(obj) \
* OBJECT_CHECK(MyDevice, obj, TYPE_MY_DEVICE)
* </programlisting>
* </example>
*
* # Class Initialization #
*
* Before an object is initialized, the class for the object must be
* initialized. There is only one class object for all instance objects
* that is created lazily.
*
* Classes are initialized by first initializing any parent classes (if
* necessary). After the parent class object has initialized, it will be
* copied into the current class object and any additional storage in the
* class object is zero filled.
*
* The effect of this is that classes automatically inherit any virtual
* function pointers that the parent class has already initialized. All
* other fields will be zero filled.
*
* Once all of the parent classes have been initialized, #TypeInfo::class_init
* is called to let the class being instantiated provide default initialize for
* its virtual functions. Here is how the above example might be modified
* to introduce an overridden virtual function:
*
* <example>
* <title>Overriding a virtual function</title>
* <programlisting>
* #include "qdev.h"
*
* void my_device_class_init(ObjectClass *klass, void *class_data)
* {
* DeviceClass *dc = DEVICE_CLASS(klass);
* dc->reset = my_device_reset;
* }
*
* static const TypeInfo my_device_info = {
* .name = TYPE_MY_DEVICE,
* .parent = TYPE_DEVICE,
* .instance_size = sizeof(MyDevice),
* .class_init = my_device_class_init,
* };
* </programlisting>
* </example>
*
* Introducing new virtual methods requires a class to define its own
* struct and to add a .class_size member to the #TypeInfo. Each method
* will also have a wrapper function to call it easily:
*
* <example>
* <title>Defining an abstract class</title>
* <programlisting>
* #include "qdev.h"
*
* typedef struct MyDeviceClass
* {
* DeviceClass parent;
*
* void (*frobnicate) (MyDevice *obj);
* } MyDeviceClass;
*
* static const TypeInfo my_device_info = {
* .name = TYPE_MY_DEVICE,
* .parent = TYPE_DEVICE,
* .instance_size = sizeof(MyDevice),
* .abstract = true, // or set a default in my_device_class_init
* .class_size = sizeof(MyDeviceClass),
* };
*
* void my_device_frobnicate(MyDevice *obj)
* {
* MyDeviceClass *klass = MY_DEVICE_GET_CLASS(obj);
*
* klass->frobnicate(obj);
* }
* </programlisting>
* </example>
*
* # Interfaces #
*
* Interfaces allow a limited form of multiple inheritance. Instances are
* similar to normal types except for the fact that are only defined by
* their classes and never carry any state. As a consequence, a pointer to
* an interface instance should always be of incomplete type in order to be
* sure it cannot be dereferenced. That is, you should define the
* 'typedef struct SomethingIf SomethingIf' so that you can pass around
* 'SomethingIf *si' arguments, but not define a 'struct SomethingIf { ... }'.
* The only things you can validly do with a 'SomethingIf *' are to pass it as
* an argument to a method on its corresponding SomethingIfClass, or to
* dynamically cast it to an object that implements the interface.
*
* # Methods #
*
* A <emphasis>method</emphasis> is a function within the namespace scope of
* a class. It usually operates on the object instance by passing it as a
* strongly-typed first argument.
* If it does not operate on an object instance, it is dubbed
* <emphasis>class method</emphasis>.
*
* Methods cannot be overloaded. That is, the #ObjectClass and method name
* uniquely identity the function to be called; the signature does not vary
* except for trailing varargs.
*
* Methods are always <emphasis>virtual</emphasis>. Overriding a method in
* #TypeInfo.class_init of a subclass leads to any user of the class obtained
* via OBJECT_GET_CLASS() accessing the overridden function.
* The original function is not automatically invoked. It is the responsibility
* of the overriding class to determine whether and when to invoke the method
* being overridden.
*
* To invoke the method being overridden, the preferred solution is to store
* the original value in the overriding class before overriding the method.
* This corresponds to |[ {super,base}.method(...) ]| in Java and C#
* respectively; this frees the overriding class from hardcoding its parent
* class, which someone might choose to change at some point.
*
* <example>
* <title>Overriding a virtual method</title>
* <programlisting>
* typedef struct MyState MyState;
*
* typedef void (*MyDoSomething)(MyState *obj);
*
* typedef struct MyClass {
* ObjectClass parent_class;
*
* MyDoSomething do_something;
* } MyClass;
*
* static void my_do_something(MyState *obj)
* {
* // do something
* }
*
* static void my_class_init(ObjectClass *oc, void *data)
* {
* MyClass *mc = MY_CLASS(oc);
*
* mc->do_something = my_do_something;
* }
*
* static const TypeInfo my_type_info = {
* .name = TYPE_MY,
* .parent = TYPE_OBJECT,
* .instance_size = sizeof(MyState),
* .class_size = sizeof(MyClass),
* .class_init = my_class_init,
* };
*
* typedef struct DerivedClass {
* MyClass parent_class;
*
* MyDoSomething parent_do_something;
* } DerivedClass;
*
* static void derived_do_something(MyState *obj)
* {
* DerivedClass *dc = DERIVED_GET_CLASS(obj);
*
* // do something here
* dc->parent_do_something(obj);
* // do something else here
* }
*
* static void derived_class_init(ObjectClass *oc, void *data)
* {
* MyClass *mc = MY_CLASS(oc);
* DerivedClass *dc = DERIVED_CLASS(oc);
*
* dc->parent_do_something = mc->do_something;
* mc->do_something = derived_do_something;
* }
*
* static const TypeInfo derived_type_info = {
* .name = TYPE_DERIVED,
* .parent = TYPE_MY,
* .class_size = sizeof(DerivedClass),
* .class_init = derived_class_init,
* };
* </programlisting>
* </example>
*
* Alternatively, object_class_by_name() can be used to obtain the class and
* its non-overridden methods for a specific type. This would correspond to
* |[ MyClass::method(...) ]| in C++.
*
* The first example of such a QOM method was #CPUClass.reset,
* another example is #DeviceClass.realize.
