The current character device syntax uses either

  -serial tty,path=/dev/ttyS2

Or

  -chardev tty,id=serial0,path=/dev/ttyS2 -serial chardev:serial0

With the new -device support, we now prefer

  -chardev file,id=serial0,path=/tmp/serial.log -device isa-serial,chardev=serial0

This patch changes the existing -chardev syntax to use this new
scheme, and fallbacks to the old plain -serial syntax for old
QEMU.

The monitor device changes to

  -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/tmp/test-monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor

In addition, this patch adds --nodefaults, which kills off the
default serial, parallel, vga and nic devices. THis avoids the
need for us to explicitly turn each off
