[RFC PATCH 004/134] sysbus: Make sysbus_create_simple()/_varargs() take a QOM parent

[Alexander Graf <graf@amazon.com>]

Sysbus is by far the largest producer of orphaned onboard devices:
of the ~1180 unparented device creation sites in the tree, well over
half go through sysbus_create_simple(), sysbus_create_varargs(), or
qdev_new_orphan()+sysbus_realize_and_unref() open-coded.

Apply the same rename-and-reintroduce treatment as qdev_new():
mechanically rename the existing helpers to *_orphan() and
reintroduce the short names with a leading (parent, id, ...) pair
that plumbs down to the new qdev_new().  The parented versions call
sysbus_realize() (not _and_unref) since the child<> property already
holds the sole reference.

The mechanical rename part is generated by

  spatch --sp-file \
      scripts/coccinelle/qom-parent/sysbus-create-orphan.cocci \
      --in-place --include-headers --dir .

or equivalently

  git ls-files '*.[ch]' '*.[ch].inc' '*.rst' '*.py' | \
      grep -v '^subprojects/' | \
      xargs sed -i \
          's/\bsysbus_create_simple\b/sysbus_create_simple_orphan/g;
           s/\bsysbus_create_varargs\b/sysbus_create_varargs_orphan/g'
