[PATCH 8/9] qom: fix ability to create objects without a parent

["Daniel P. Berrangé" <berrange@redhat.com>]

object_new_with_propv allowed id/parent to be optional, in which case
the caller was expected to own the returned object. Unfortunately a
trailing object_unref() meant that the returned object was already
freed.

It is confusing to have a single method with two different ownership
scenarios for the returned object.

Make id/parent mandatory in object_new_with_propv once more, and add
a new object_new_with_propv_parentless that does not accept id/parent
at all and lets the caller own the returned reference.

The helper method has abstracted the way properties are represented
and setk in order to facilitate the subsequent commit.

Unit tests are added to address the root cause that allowed the bug
to slip through in commit 6134d752.

Fixes: 6134d7522e570a30d7f0d1e092ee37351c5183ed
