In some board or SoC models it is necessary to split a qemu_irq line
so that one input can feed multiple outputs. We currently have
qemu_irq_split() for this, but that has several deficiencies:
* it can only handle splitting a line into two
* it unavoidably leaks memory, so it can't be used
in a device that can be deleted
Implement a qdev device that encapsulates splitting of IRQs, with a
configurable number of outputs. (This is in some ways the inverse of
the TYPE_OR_IRQ device.)

Add a generic loader to QEMU which can be used to load images or set
memory values.
Internally inside QEMU this is a device. It is a strange device that
provides no hardware interface but allows QEMU to monkey patch memory
specified when it is created. To be able to do this it has a reset
callback that does the memory operations.
This device allows the user to monkey patch memory. To be able to do
this it needs a backend to manage the datas, the same as other
memory-related devices. In this case as the backend is so trivial we
have merged it with the frontend instead of creating and maintaining a
seperate backend.
