[PATCH v4 0/3] Avoid abort on QMP attempt to add an object with duplicate id

[Eric Auger]

Attempting to add an object through QMP with an id that is
already used leads to a qemu abort. This is a regression since
d2623129a7de ("qom: Drop parameter @errp of object_property_add()
& friends").

The first patch fixes the issue and the second patch adds a test
to check the error is gracefully returned to the QMP client.

The last patch can be considered independently. It merges all the
object-add tests into a single test function and cover new failure
cases.

Best Regards

Eric
