Most frontends can't really determine if the guest actually has the frontend
side open. So lets automatically generate fe_open / fe_close as soon as a
frontend becomes ready (as signalled by calling qemu_chr_add_handlers) /
becomes non ready (as signalled by setting all handlers to NULL).
And allow frontends which can actually determine if the guest is listening to
opt-out of this.

qemu_chr_fe_add_watch() can return negative errors, therefore it must
not have an unsigned return type. For consistency with other
qemu_chr_fe_* functions, this uses a standard C int instead of glib
types.
In situations where qemu_chr_fe_add_watch() is falsely assumed to have
succeeded, the serial ports would go into a state where it never becomes
ready for transmitting more data; this is fixed by this patch.

This patch adds 'braille' support to qapi and also switches over
the braille chardev initialization to the new qapi code path.

This patch add support for a new way to initialize chardev devices.
Instead of calling a initialization function with a QemuOpts we will
now create a (qapi) ChardevBackend, optionally call a function to
fill ChardevBackend from QemuOpts, then go create the chardev using
the new qapi code path which is also used by chardev-add.

qemu_chr_new_from_opts handles QemuOpts release now, so callers don't
have to worry. It will either be saved in CharDriverState, then
released in qemu_chr_delete, or in the error case released instantly.
