ChardevPort is more or less taken from Paolos qapi interface draft, and
I found it intuitive enough to go with it.  This is about passing
through serial (and parallel) *ports* to the guest.  And, yes, it works
for other tty devices too, so you don't always have a physical port.

So, if you have a better name suggestion in time for 1.4 ...
