Eduardo Habkost 0bcba41fe3 machine: Convert abstract typename on compat_props to subclass names
Original problem description by Greg Kurz:

> Since commit "9a4c0e220d8a hw/virtio-pci: fix virtio
> behaviour", passing -device virtio-blk-pci.disable-modern=off
> has no effect on 2.6 machine types because the internal
> virtio-pci.disable-modern=on compat property always prevail.

The same bug also affects other abstract type names mentioned on
compat_props by machine-types: apic-common, i386-cpu, pci-device,
powerpc64-cpu, s390-skeys, spapr-pci-host-bridge, usb-device,
virtio-pci, x86_64-cpu.

The right fix for this problem is to make sure compat_props and
-global options are always applied in the order they are
registered, instead of reordering them based on the type
hierarchy. But changing the ordering rules of -global is risky
and might break existing configurations, so we shouldn't do that
on a stable branch.

This is a temporary hack that will work around the bug when
registering compat_props properties: if we find an abstract class
on compat_props, register properties for all its non-abstract
subtypes instead. This will make sure -global won't be overridden
by compat_props, while keeping the existing ordering rules on
-global options.

Note that there's one case that won't be fixed by this hack:
"-global spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge.<option>=<value>" won't be
able to override compat_props, because spapr-pci-host-bridge is
not an abstract class.
