This ought to use qmp_chardev_add and a generic opts->ChardevBackend
conversion.

But IMHO, this kind of intermediate conversion is okay, with the
"correct" thing deferred; being able to play with hotplug from HMP is
worth the small wart.  It's really Luiz's decision, so I'm not giving
the reviewed-by (yet).
