This adds a function that, given a QDict of non-help options, prints
help for user creatable objects.

Existing user_creatable_print_help():

1. "qom-type=help,..." and its sugared forms, in particular "help"

   List QOM types and succeed.

2. "qom-type=T,help,..." 

2a. If T names a QOM type

    List T's properties and succeed.

2b. If T does not name a QOM type

    Fail.  Callers typically interpret this as "no help requested",
    proceed, then choke on invalid qom-type=T.

New user_creatable_print_help() treats case 2b like case 1.

Intentional?

And of course

  3. Else

     No help requested; fail.

The next patch relies on this, so I figure the answer is yes.

The difference to user_creatable_print_help() is subtle.  Perhaps the
contract should point it out explicitly.  Up to you.

By the way, the contract of user_creatable_print_help() is inaccurate:

 * Prints help if requested in @opts.
 *
 * Returns: true if @opts contained a help option and help was printed, false
 * if no help option was found.

One, it prints help when either @type or @opts request it.

Two, "if no help option was found" is misleading: case 2b.

Not this patch's problem.
