add optional 2nd stage initialization to -object/object-add commands

Introduces USER_CREATABLE interface that must be implemented by
objects which are designed to created with -object CLI option or
object-add QMP command.

Interface provides an ability to do an optional second stage
initialization of the object created with -object/object-add
commands. By providing complete() callback, which is called
after the object properties were set.

It allows to: * prevents misusing of -object/object-add by filtering out
objects that are not designed for it. * generalize second stage backend initialization instead of
adding custom APIs to perform it * early error detection of backend initialization at -object/
object-add time rather than through a proxy DEVICE object
that tries to use backend.
