hw/i2c: Document the I2C qdev helpers

In commit d88c42ff2c we added new prototype but neglected to
add their documentation. Fix that.

* This function is useful if you have created @dev via qdev_new(),

* init and realize in one step).
*
* If you are embedding the I2C slave into another QOM device and
* initialized it via some variant on object_initialize_child() then
* do not use this function, because that family of functions arrange
* for the only reference to the child device to be held by the parent
* via the child<> property, and so the reference-count-drop done here
* would be incorrect. (Instead you would want i2c_slave_realize(),
* which doesn't currently exist but would be trivial to create if we
