Subject: [PATCH] qdev: Hide "no_user" devices from users

Users can't create them, so qdev_device_help() shouldn't list them.
Fix that.

Also make qdev_device_add() pretend they don't exist.  Before, it
rejected them with a "can't be added via command line" message, which
wasn't quite right for monitor command device_add.
