This adds support for hiding a device to the qbus and qdev APIs.  The
first user of this will be the virtio-net failover feature but the API
introduced with this patch could be used to implement other features as
well, for example hiding pci devices when a pci bus is powered off.

qdev_device_add() is modified to check for a net_failover_pair_id
argument in the option string. A DeviceListener callback
should_be_hidden() is added. It can be used by a standby device to
inform qdev that this device should not be added now. The standby device
handler can store the device options to plug the device in at a later
point in time.

One reason for hiding the device is that we don't want to expose both
devices to the guest kernel until the respective virtio feature bit
VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY was negotiated and we know that the devices will be
handled correctly by the guest.

More information on the kernel feature this is using:
 https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/net_failover.html

An example where the primary device is a vfio-pci device and the standby
device is a virtio-net device:

A device is hidden when it has an "net_failover_pair_id" option, e.g.

 -device virtio-net-pci,...,failover=on,...
 -device vfio-pci,...,net_failover_pair_id=net1,...
