[PATCH v5 5/6] RFC qapi/device_add: handle the rom_order_override when cold-plugging

[Damien Hedde <damien.hedde@greensocs.com>]

rom_set_order_override() and rom_reset_order_override() were called
in qemu_create_cli_devices() to set the rom_order_override value
once and for all when creating the devices added on CLI.

Unfortunately this won't work with qapi commands.

Move the calls inside device_add so that it will be done in every
case:
+ CLI option: -device
+ QAPI command: device_add

rom_[set|reset]_order_override() are implemented in hw/core/loader.c
They either do nothing or call fw_cfg_[set|reset]_order_override().
The later functions are implemented in hw/nvram/fw_cfg.c and only
change an integer value of a "global" variable.
In consequence, there are no complex side effects involved and we can
safely move them from outside the -device option loop to the inner
function.

I see 2 other ways to handle this:

1. Adding a new option to device_add.

We could add a new boolean (_rom_order_override_ for example) option
tot he qapi command. This flag would then be forced to "true" when
handling "-device" parameter from CLI.
The flag default could be:
- always false
- false on hot-plug, true on cold-plug.

2. Adding a new qapi command
We could add one or two commands to do the
rom_[set|reset]_order_override() operation.
