[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 4/5] scripts/qemu.py: introduce set_console() method

[Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com>]

The set_console() method is intended to ease higher level use cases
that require a console device.

The amount of intelligence is limited on purpose, requiring either the
device type explicitly, or the existence of a machine (pattern)
definition.

Because of the console device type selection criteria (by machine
type), users should also be able to define that.  It'll then be used
for both '-machine' and for the console device type selection.

Users of the set_console() method will certainly be interested in
accessing the console device, and for that a console_socket property
has been added.
