authz: add QAuthZ object as an authorization base class


The current qemu_acl module provides a simple access control list
facility inside QEMU, which is used via a set of monitor commands
acl_show, acl_policy, acl_add, acl_remove & acl_reset.

Note there is no ability to create ACLs - the network services (eg VNC
server) were expected to create ACLs that they want to check.

There is also no way to define ACLs on the command line, nor potentially
integrate with external authorization systems like polkit, pam, ldap
lookup, etc.

The QAuthZ object defines a minimal abstract QOM class that can be
subclassed for creating different authorization providers.
