io: add abstract QIOChannel classes

Start the new generic I/O channel framework by defining a
QIOChannel abstract base class. This is designed to feel
similar to GLib's GIOChannel, but with the addition of
support for using iovecs, qemu error reporting, file
descriptor passing, coroutine integration and use of
the QOM framework for easier sub-classing.

The intention is that anywhere in QEMU that almost
anywhere that deals with sockets will use this new I/O
infrastructure, so that it becomes trivial to then layer
in support for TLS encryption. This will at least include
the VNC server, char device backend and migration code.
