This is mostly code movement although not entirely. This makes properties part of the Object base class which means that we can now start using Object in a meaningful way outside of qdev.
Can we move them to an intermediate base class? I would like to use QOM refcounting for other objects, such as SCSIRequest, so it is important to have Object as a pretty light-weight class. Also (and perhaps more importantly), interface implementations are Objects too and they do not need properties.
I cannot think of any better name than IntrospectableObject, which is quite a mouthful. I suppose that we could have the base class but still pass the objects to the function as Object * and use the OBJECT macro. Nothing of this is in a hot path anyway.
