[PATCH for-6.0] accel: Wire accel to /machine

[Roman Bolshakov]

There's no generic way to query current accel and its properties via QOM
because there's no link between an accel and current machine.

The change adds the link, i.e. if HVF is enabled the following will be
available in QOM:

  (qemu) qom-get /machine/accel type
  "hvf-accel"

Hi,

this is a follow up patch that deprecates earlier series [1].

An outstanding issue is whether management applications can rely on the
value of /machine/accel/type and output of qom-list-types command [2][3]
to get current and present accels?

i.e. would it be ok if libvirt assumes that everything up to the first
dash in the accel type is the name of the accel (as specified via -M
accel=ACCEL flag) when it performs QEMU probing?

Also, Eduardo and Claudio earlier had ideas to provide cpu-specific
accel subclasses [4][5].
