chardev/char-fe: Allow NULL chardev in qemu_chr_fe_init()


All the functions in char-fe.c handle the CharBackend
having a NULL Chardev pointer, which means that the
backend exists but is not connected to anything. The
exception is qemu_chr_fe_init(), which will crash if
passed a NULL Chardev pointer argument. This can happen
for various boards if they're started with 'nodefaults':
 arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -S -nodefaults -M cubieboard
 riscv32-softmmu/qemu-system-riscv32 -nodefaults -M sifive_e

Make qemu_chr_fe_init() accept a NULL chardev. This allows
UART models to handle NULL chardev properties without
generally needing to special case them or to manually
create a NullChardev.
