This improves the family of object_property_add_uintXX_ptr helpers by enabling a default setter when desired. To prevent an API behavioural change (from clients that already used these helpers and did not want a setter), we add a "readonly" parameter that allow clients to only have a getter. Patch 1 enhances the API and modify current users.
While modifying the clients of the API, a couple of improvement opportunities were observed in ich9. These were added in separate patches (2 and 3). Patch 3 cleans up a lot of existing code by moving various objects to the enhanced API. Previously, those objects had their own getters/setters that only updated the values without further checks. Some of them actually lacked a check for setting overflows, which could have resulted in undesired values being set. The new default setters include a check for that, not updating the values in case of errors (and propagating them).
