Move the creation of QmpInputVisitor and QmpOutputVisitor from qmp.c
to qom/object.c, since it's the only practical way to access object
properties.
Keep this isolated such that it's easy to remove. At some point, we need
to remove all usage of QObject in the tree and replace it with GVariant.

This is mostly code movement although not entirely. This makes properties part
of the Object base class which means that we can now start using Object in a
meaningful way outside of qdev.

This was done in a mostly automated fashion. I did it in three steps and then
rebased it into a single step which avoids repeatedly touching every file in
the tree.
The first step was a sed-based addition of the parent type to the subclass
registration functions.
The second step was another sed-based removal of subclass registration functions
while also adding virtual functions from the base class into a class_init
function as appropriate.
Finally, a python script was used to convert the DeviceInfo structures and
qdev_register_subclass functions to TypeInfo structures, class_init functions,
and type_register_static calls.
We are almost fully converted to QOM after this commit.

This class provides the main building block for QEMU Object Model and is
extensively documented in the header file. It is largely inspired by GObject.
