object_property_add() does not allow object_property_try_add()
to gracefully fail as &error_abort is passed as an error handle.

However such failure can easily be triggered from the QMP shell when,
for instance, one attempts to create an object with an id that already
exists. This is achieved from the following call path:

qmp_object_add -> user_creatable_add_dict -> user_creatable_add_type ->
object_property_add_child -> object_property_add

For instance, from the qmp-shell, call twice:
object-add qom-type=memory-backend-ram id=mem1 props.size=1073741824
and QEMU aborts.

This behavior is undesired as a user/management application mistake
in reusing a property ID shouldn't result in loss of the VM and live
data within.

This patch introduces a new function, object_property_try_add_child()
which takes an error handle and turn object_property_try_add() into
a non-static one.

Now the call path becomes:

user_creatable_add_type -> object_property_try_add_child ->
object_property_try_add

and the error is returned gracefully to the QMP client.

(QEMU) object-add qom-type=memory-backend-ram id=mem2  props.size=4294967296
{"return": {}}
(QEMU) object-add qom-type=memory-backend-ram id=mem2  props.size=4294967296
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "attempt to add duplicate property
'mem2' to object (type 'container')"}}
