monitor: minimal conversion of monitors to QOM

This introduces abstract QOM type "monitor", with concrete subtypes
"monitor-hmp" and "monitor-qmp". This is the bare minimum conversion
of just the type declarations and replacing g_new/g_free with
object_new/object_unref.

Command line option "-monitor" now creates a "monitor-hmp" object
"/objects/compat_monitorNNN" in addition to the character device
"/chardevs/compat_monitorNNN". NNN counts up from zero.

Exception: "-monitor chardev:ID" creates a "monitor-hmp" object
"/objects/ID", and does not create a character device.

"-qmp" and "-qmp-pretty" work the same, except they create a
"monitor-qmp" object.

"-mon" now creates either a "monitor-hmp" or "monitor-qmp" object
"/objects/ID" if the option argument provides an ID, else
"/objects/compat_monitorNNN".

"-gdbstub" and "-serial mon:..." now create a "monitor-hmp" object
"/objects/compat_monitorNNN".

Note that the object's name in "/objects/" matches the QemuOpts ID when
it exists.  The only cases where it doesn't exist are "-mon" without ID,
"-gdbstub" and "-serial mon:".

A future patch will make "monitor-hmp" and "monitor-qmp" work with
"-object" and "object-add".

Note: there is a slight change in the NNN values assigned. The old
code would increment the counter for every monitor added (except for
-mon, -serial mon:..., -gdbstub), regardless of whether it needed a
"compat_monitorNNN" ID assignment. Now it is only incremented when an
automatic ID assigned is needed (but even for -mon, -serial mon:...,
-gdbstub).
