[PATCH v2 07/20] qapi: Flatten object-add

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

Mapping object-add to the command line as is doesn't result in nice
syntax because of the nesting introduced with 'props'. This becomes
nicer and more consistent with device_add and netdev_add when we accept
properties for the object on the top level instead.

'props' is still accepted after this patch, but marked as deprecated.
