[PATCH-for-5.2] hw/vfio: Move some target-independent devices to common-objs

[PATCH-for-5.2] hw/vfio: Move some target-independent devices to common-objs

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

These devices do not depend on the target CPU configuration
(32 or 64-bit, big / little endian). Move them to common-obj
to compile them once for all the targets.

What thing, or lack of thing, are you looking for in these files that
aren't in the others?  For instance if igd.o is common, but pci-quirks.o
is not, where igd.o is just a quirk that got split out of pci-quirks.o
so that we could more easily compile it out, it feels like we might be
stumbling into cases where adding or removing code that would shift
objects into or out of the common-obj target.  I don't know how to
maintain that.  Thanks,
