Function name type_class_init() gave us a wrong impression of separation
of type's "class" and "object" entities initialization. Name type_initialize()
is more appropriate for type_class_init() function (considering what operations
it performs).

QOM documentation states that for objects of type with @instance_size == 0 size
will be assigned to match parent object's size. But currently this feauture is
not implemented and qemu asserts during creation of object with zero instance_size.

Set appropriate value for type instance_size during type_class_init() call.
object_initialize_with_type() must call type_class_init() before asserting
type->instance_size, and object_new_with_type() must call type_class_init() before
object allocation.

Property removal modifies the list, so it is not safe to continue
iteration.  We know anyway that each object can have only one
parent (see object_property_add_child), so exit after finding
the requested object.

In the old implementation, if the new value of the property links
to the same object, as the old value, that object is first unref-ed,
and then ref-ed. This leads to unintended deinitialization of that object.

In the new implementation, this is fixed.

This allows to restrict partial matches to objects of the expected
type.  It will let people use bare names to reference drives
even though their name might be the same as a device's (e.g.
-drive id=hd0,if=none,... -device ...,drive=hd0,id=hd0).

As a useful byproduct, this fixes a problem with links of interface
type.  When a link property's type is an interface, the code expects
the implementation object (not the parent object) to be stored in the
variable.  The parent object does not contain the right vtable.

The interface loop can be performed only on the parent object.  It
does not need to be done on each interface.  Similarly, we can
simplify the code by switching early from the implementation
object to the parent object.

Now we have the following behavior:

1) object_new() returns an object with ref = 1
2) object_initialize() does not increase the reference count (ref may be 0).
3) object_deref() will finalize the object when ref = 0.  it does not free the
   memory associated with the object.
4) both link and child properties correctly set the reference count.

The expected usage is the following:

1) child devices should generally be created via object_initialize() using
   memory from the parent device.  Adding the object as a child property will
   take ownership of the object and tie the child's life cycle to the parent.

2) If a child device is created via qdev_create() or some other form of
   object_new(), there must be an object_delete() call in the parent device's
   finalize function.
