Hi,

This series connects QOM and qdev properties to the QAPI type system, so
that management tools can discover the QAPI schema type of each object
property.

Today, QOM properties carry a free-form "type" string ("bool", "uint32",
"OnOffAuto", ..) that has no formal link to the QAPI schema exposed by
query-qmp-schema. Management tools must maintain ad-hoc mappings or rely
on naming conventions to figure out how to interpret property values.

This series adds:
  - A new QAPITypeInfo struct that pairs a property with its QAPI schema
    type name, enum lookup table, and list-element type.

  - A QAPI code generator (qapi-type-infos) that emits a QAPITypeInfo
    instance for every schema-defined type, including the mapping
    between internal C names and the schema name visible to clients.

  - A "qapi-type" field in the ObjectPropertyInfo and
    ObjectPropertyValue QMP structs, populated from the QAPITypeInfo
    when present giving clients a cross-reference into query-qmp-schema
    output.

  - Conversion of all PropertyInfo definitions from the old
    .type/.enum_table strings to the new .qapi_type pointer.

  - Replacement of the generic qdev_prop_array with typed per-element
    array PropertyInfos, removing the arrayinfo/arrayfieldsize
    indirection from struct Property.

  - Removal of the deprecated PropertyInfo.type and .enum_table fields,
    and of the old object_property_add_enum/add_tm APIs.

Along the way, a few pre-existing type mismatches in property
definitions are fixed, the "struct tm" RTC property is replaced with a
proper QAPI StructTm type etc. Introducing more specific types or a
"typedef" to QAPI could help provide better associated type informations
than plain "str" in many cases, for example.

Comments welcome!
