The Big QEMU Lock (BQL) has many names and they are confusing. The
actual QemuMutex variable is called qemu_global_mutex but it's commonly
referred to as the BQL in discussions and some code comments. The
locking APIs, however, are called qemu_mutex_lock_iothread() and
qemu_mutex_unlock_iothread().
The "iothread" name is historic and comes from when the main thread was
split into into KVM vcpu threads and the "iothread" (now called the main
loop thread). I have contributed to the confusion myself by introducing
a separate --object iothread, a separate concept unrelated to the BQL.
The "iothread" name is no longer appropriate for the BQL. Rename the
locking APIs to:
- void bql_lock(void)
- void bql_unlock(void)
- bool bql_locked(void)
There are more APIs with "iothread" in their names. Subsequent patches
will rename them. There are also comments and documentation that will be
updated in later patches.

Factor the TCG specific code from cpu_common_reset_hold() to
tcg_cpu_reset_hold() within tcg-accel-ops.c. Since this file
is sysemu specific, we can inline tcg_flush_softmmu_tlb(),
removing its declaration in "exec/cpu-common.h".

"exec/cpu-common.h" is meant to contain the declarations
related to CPU usable with any accelerator / target
combination.
tcg_flush_jmp_cache() is specific to TCG, so restrict its
declaration by moving it to "exec/tb-flush.h".

When CONFIG_PROFILER is set there are various undefined references to
profile_getclock. Include the header which defines this function.
For example:
../tcg/tcg.c: In function ‘tcg_gen_code’:

Both insert/remove_breakpoint() handlers are used in system and
user emulation. We can not use the 'hwaddr' type on user emulation,
we have to use 'vaddr' which is defined as "wide enough to contain
any #target_ulong virtual address".
gdbstub.c doesn't require to include "exec/hwaddr.h" anymore.

As HW virtualization requires specific support to handle breakpoints
lets push out special casing out of the core gdbstub code and into
AccelOpsClass. This will make it easier to add other accelerator
support and reduces some of the stub shenanigans.

This will allow us to centralize the registration of
the cpus.c module accelerator operations (in accel/accel-softmmu.c),
and trigger it automatically using object hierarchy lookup from the
new accel_init_interfaces() initialization step, depending just on
which accelerators are available in the code.
Rename all tcg-cpus.c, kvm-cpus.c, etc to tcg-accel-ops.c,
kvm-accel-ops.c, etc, matching the object type names.
