[RFC PATCH v2 08/16] qdev-monitor: Check sysbus device type before creating it

[Damien Hedde]

Add an early check to test if the requested sysbus device type
is allowed by the current machine before creating the device. This
impacts both -device cli option and device_add qmp command.

Before this patch, the check was done well after the device has
been created (in a machine init done notifier). We can now report
the error right away.
