This stores device parameters in a better way than unparsed strings.
New types:
QemuOpt - one key-value pair.
QemuOpts - group of key-value pairs, belonging to one
device, i.e. one drive.
QemuOptsList - list of some kind of devices, i.e. all drives.
Functions are provided to work with these types. The plan is that some
day we will pass around QemuOpts pointers instead of strings filled with
"key1=value1,key2=value2".
Check out the next patch to see all this in action ;)

This patch adds a small help text to each of the options in the block drivers
which can be displayed by using qemu-img create -f fmt -o ?

This patch creates a new header file and the corresponding implementation file
for parsing of parameter strings for options (like used in -drive). Part of
this is code moved from vl.c (so qemu-img can use it later).
The idea is to have a data structure describing all accepted parameters. When
parsing a parameter string, the structure is copied and filled with the
parameter values.
