Like qdev_init(), but terminate program via hw_error() instead of
returning an error value.
Use it instead of qdev_init() where terminating the program on failure
is okay, either because it's during machine construction, or because
we know that failure can't happen.
Because relying in the latter is somewhat unclean, and the former is
not always obvious, it would be nice to go back to qdev_init() in the
not-so-obvious cases, only with proper error handling. I'm leaving
that for another day, because it involves making sure that error
values are properly checked by all callers.

In the very least, a change like this requires discussion on the list.
The naming convention is goofy and it causes a massive merge problem. Something
like this _must_ be presented on the list first so people can provide input
and cope with it.
This reverts commit 99a0949b72.

This patch is a major overhaul of the device properties. The properties
are saved directly in the device state struct now, the linked list of
property values is gone.
Advantages:
* We don't have to maintain the list with the property values.
* The value in the property list and the value actually used by
the device can't go out of sync any more (used to happen for
the pci.devfn == -1 case) because there is only one place where
the value is stored.
* A record describing the property is required now, you can't set
random properties any more.
There are bus-specific and device-specific properties. The former
should be used for properties common to all bus drivers. Typical
use case is bus addressing, i.e. pci.devfn and i2c.address.
Properties have a PropertyInfo struct attached with name, size and
function pointers to parse and print properties. A few common property
types have PropertyInfos defined in qdev-properties.c. Drivers are free
to implement their own very special property parsers if needed.
Properties can have default values. If unset they are zero-filled.

We have both IRQ sinks and GPIO inputs. These are in principle exactly
the same thing, so remove the former.
