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.

pci_bus_irqs() coupled together the assignment of pci_set_irq_fn and
pci_map_irq_fn to a PCI bus. This coupling gets in the way when the
pci_map_irq_fn is board-specific while the pci_set_irq_fn is device-
specific.
For example, both of QEMU's PIIX south bridge models have different
pci_map_irq_fn implementations which are board-specific rather than
device-specific. These implementations should therefore reside in board
code. The pci_set_irq_fn's, however, should stay in the device models
because they access memory internal to the model.
Factoring out pci_bus_map_irqs() from pci_bus_irqs() allows the
assignments to be decoupled, resolving the problem described above.
Note also how pci_vpb_realize() which gets touched in this commit
assigns different pci_map_irq_fn's depending on the board.

The legacy function qdev_reset_all() performs a recursive reset,
starting from a qdev. However, it does not permit any of the devices
in the tree to use three-phase reset, because device reset goes
through the device_legacy_reset() function that only calls the single
DeviceClass::reset method.
Switch to using the device_cold_reset() function instead. This also
performs a recursive reset, where first the children are reset and
then finally the parent, but it uses the new (...in 2020...)
Resettable mechanism, which supports both the old style single-reset
method and also the new 3-phase reset handling.
This commit changes the five remaining uses of this function.

* It must be used when the function dereferences @errp or passes
* @errp to error_prepend(), error_vprepend(), or error_append_hint().
* It is safe to use even when it's not needed, but please avoid
* cluttering the source with useless code.
Clean up some of this clutter.

There were several different ways to deal with the situation where the
vector specified for a msix function is out of bound:
- early return a function and keep progresssing
- propagate the error to the caller
- mark msix unusable
- assert it is in bound
- just ignore
An out-of-bound vector should not be specified if the device
implementation is correct so let msix functions always assert that the
specified vector is in range.
An exceptional case is virtio-pci, which allows the guest to configure
vectors. For virtio-pci, it is more appropriate to introduce its own
checks because it is sometimes too late to check the vector range in
msix functions.
