Gabriel L. Somlo 9c4a5c55f5 fw_cfg: move internal function call docs to header file
Move documentation for fw_cfg functions internal to qemufrom
docs/specs/fw_cfg.txt to the fw_cfg.h header file, next to
their prototype declarations, formatted as doc-comments.

NOTE: Documentation for fw_cfg_add_callback() is completely
dropped by this patch, as that function has been eliminated
by commit 023e3148.

Gabriel L. Somlo 57c3d238a5 fw_cfg: document fw_cfg_modify_iXX() update functions
Document the behavior of fw_cfg_modify_iXX() for leak-less updating
of integer-type blobs.

Currently only fw_cfg_modify_i16() is coded, but 32- and 64-bit versions
may be added later if necessary..

Gabriel L. Somlo 81b2b81062 fw_cfg: insert fw_cfg file blobs via qemu cmdline
Allow user supplied files to be inserted into the fw_cfg
device before starting the guest. Since fw_cfg_add_file()
already disallows duplicate fw_cfg file names, qemu will
exit with an error message if the user supplies multiple
blobs with the same fw_cfg file name, or if a blob name
collides with a fw_cfg name programmatically added from
within the QEMU source code. A warning message will be
printed if the fw_cfg item name does not begin with the
prefix "opt/", which is recommended for external, user
provided blobs.
