qmp: Print descriptions of object properties
Add a new "description" field to DevicePropertyInfo.
The descriptions can serve as documentation in the code,
and they can be used to provide better help. For example:
$./qemu-system-x86_64 -device virtio-blk-pci,?

virtio-blk-pci.event_idx=bool (on/off)
virtio-blk-pci.indirect_desc=bool (on/off)
virtio-blk-pci.vectors=uint32
virtio-blk-pci.ioeventfd=bool (on/off)
