I tried to explain some of the reasons in the commit message.

We need backend->type to be set correctly for the qapi_free_ChardevBackend() to work. The kind field used to be on a class member, but we try to get rid of it. So we move that information to _parse(), and change the backend type appropriately there.

KIND_NULL is the common backend (sharing ChardevCommon).

0 is KIND_FILE, which would lead to invalid free.
