There is already 'device-list-properties' which does most of the job,
however it does not handle everything returned by qom-list-types such
as machines as they inherit directly from TYPE_OBJECT and not TYPE_DEVICE.
It does not handle abstract classes either.

This adds a new qom-list-properties command which prints properties
of a specific class and its instance. It is pretty much a simplified copy
of the device-list-properties handler.

Since it creates an object instance, device properties should appear
in the output as they are copied to QOM properties at the instance_init
hook.

This adds a object_class_property_iter_init() helper to allow class
properties enumeration uses it in the new QMP command to allow properties
listing for abstract classes.

Changes:
v3:
* Used ObjectPropertyInfo instead of QOMPropertyInfo

v2:
* added abstract classes support, now things like "pci-device" or
"spapr-machine" show properties, previously these would produce
an "abstract class" error

I remain a bit concerned about the subtle difference in behaviour
between abstract and non-abstract classes.
