[PATCH 2/2] input-linux: Allow to toggle grab from QMP

["Rainer Müller" <raimue@codingfarm.de>]

This patch allows to boot a guest without the input-linux device being
grabbed immediately from the host. This is useful when the guest is
automatically started, but is supposed to stay in the background until
the user actively switches to it with a key combination.

In this usage example the host continues to own the keyboard until the
user explicitly toggles the grab state with both control keys:
  -object input-linux,id=kbd1,evdev=/dev/input/eventX,grab-active=off

When grab-active is not given, input-linux will behave as before and
devices are being grabbed immediately on initialization.

Note that even if grab_all=on is set, other devices will initially be
grabbed according to their own grab-active option. The first toggle
operation on a grab_all=on device will sync state to the other devices.

Furthermore, this new option allows to toggle the grab state from QMP
with the qom-set command. By setting grab-active at runtime, the device
will be grabbed or released as indicated by the passed value.

  $ ./scripts/qmp-shell /tmp/qmp.sock
  (QEMU) qom-set path=/objects/kbd1 property=grab-active value=true
  {"return": {}}
  (QEMU) qom-get path=/objects/kbd1 property=grab-active
  {"return": true}

For devices with grab_all=on, the action will propagate to other devices
as if the grab toggle hotkey was used.
