Makes introspection more useful. Management applications can get the
information the list of compiled-in accelerators from query-qmp-schema.
They don't have to be taught to use query-accels.
In fact, query-accels becomes useless except as a tool to force
visibility of Accelerator in query-qmp-schema. We wouldn't have to
force if we had CLI introspection that shows the type of -accel's
parameter @accel. Adding a query command is a common work-around for
our anemic CLI introspection capabilities.
The query command could be made more useful than introspection if it
reflected run time state, i.e. it showed an accelerator only when the
host system actually supports it. Can't say how practical that would
be.

You could then use something like
for (accel = 0; accel < ACCELERATOR__MAX; accel++) {
AcceleratorInfo *info = g_new0(AcceleratorInfo, 1);
info->name = Accelerator_str(accel);
QAPI_LIST_APPEND(tail, info);
}
