monitor: implement "user creatable" interface for adding monitors

Implement the user creatable QOM interface and define the monitor-qmp
and monitor-hmp types in QAPI. This unlocks the ability to create them
on the command line with -object or in HMP/QMP with object_add.

For example:

  $QEMU -chardev stdio,id=monchr0 -object monitor-hmp,id=mon0,chrdev=monchr0

Initially the "prepare_delete" callback is hardcoded to return an error
which means -object and object_add can be used, but object_del will fail.
Support for deleting monitors will be introduced in subsequent commits.
