chardev/char-hub: implement backend chardev aggregator This patch implements a new chardev backend `hub` device, which aggregates input from multiple backend devices and forwards it to a single frontend device. Additionally, `hub` device takes the output from the frontend device and sends it back to all the connected backend devices. This allows for seamless interaction between different backend devices and a single frontend interface. The idea of the change is trivial: keep list of backend devices (up to 4), init them on demand and forward data buffer back and forth. The following is QEMU command line example: -chardev pty,path=/tmp/pty,id=pty0 \ -chardev vc,id=vc0 \ -chardev hub,id=hub0,chardevs.0=pty0,chardevs.1=vc0 \ -device virtconsole,chardev=hub0 \ -vnc 0.0.0.0:0 Which creates 2 backend devices: text virtual console (`vc0`) and a pseudo TTY (`pty0`) connected to the single virtio hvc console with the backend aggregator (`hub0`) help. `vc0` renders text to an image, which can be shared over the VNC protocol. `pty0` is a pseudo TTY backend which provides biderectional communication to the virtio hvc console. 'chardevs.N' list syntax is used for the sake of compatibility with the representation of JSON lists in 'key=val' pairs format of the util/keyval.c, despite the fact that modern QAPI way of parsing, namely qobject_input_visitor_new_str(), is not used. Choice of keeping QAPI list syntax may help to smoothly switch to modern parsing in the future.

chardev/parallel: Don't close stdin on inappropriate device The __linux__ version of qemu_chr_open_pp_fd() tries to claim the parport device with a PPCLAIM ioctl(). On success, it stores the file descriptor in the chardev object, and returns success. On failure, it closes the file descriptor, and returns failure. chardev_new() then passes the Chardev to object_unref(). This duly calls char_parallel_finalize(), which closes the file descriptor stored in the chardev object. Since qemu_chr_open_pp_fd() didn't store it, it's still zero, so this closes standard input. Ooopsie. To demonstate, add a unit test. With the bug above unfixed, running this test closes standard input. char_hotswap_test() happens to run next. It opens a socket, duly gets file descriptor 0, and since it tests for success with > 0 instead of >= 0, it fails. The new unit test needs to be conditional exactly like the chardev it tests. Since the condition is rather complicated, steal the solution from the serial chardev: define HAVE_CHARDEV_PARALLEL in qemu/osdep.h. This also permits simplifying chardev/meson.build a bit. The bug fix is easy enough: store the file descriptor, and leave closing it to char_parallel_finalize(). The next commit will fix char_hotswap_test()'s test for success.
