From: Mirela Grujic <mirela.grujic@greensocs.com>
This commit allows to use the QMP command to add a cold-plugged
device like we can do with the CLI option -device.
Note: for device_add command in qdev.json adding the 'allow-preconfig'
option has no effect because the command appears to bypass QAPI (see
TODO at qapi/qdev.json:61). The option is added there solely to
document the intent.
For the same reason, the flags have to be explicitly set in
monitor_init_qmp_commands() when the device_add command is registered.
