    Adding a chardev backend for spice, where spice determines what
    to do with it based on the name attribute given during chardev creation.
    For usage by spice vdagent in conjunction with a properly named
    virtio-serial device, and future smartcard channel usage.
    
    Example usage:
     qemu -device virtio-serial -chardev spicevmc,name=vdagent,id=vdagent \
     -device virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0
    
    v4->v5:
     * add tracing events
     * fix missing comma
     * fix help string to show debug is optional
    
    v3->v4:
     * updated commit message
    
    v1->v3 changes: (v2 had a wrong commit message)
     * removed spice-qemu-char.h, folded into ui/qemu-spice.h
     * removed dead IOCTL code
     * removed comment
     * removed ifdef CONFIG_SPICE from qemu-config.c and qemu-options.hx help.
