This patch implements a new chardev backend `hub` device, which aggregates input from multiple backend devices and forwards it to a single frontend device. Additionally, `hub` device takes the output from the frontend device and sends it back to all the connected backend devices. This allows for seamless interaction between different backend devices and a single frontend interface. The idea of the change is trivial: keep list of backend devices (up to 4), init them on demand and forward data buffer back and forth. The following is QEMU command line example: -chardev pty,path=/tmp/pty,id=pty0 \ -chardev vc,id=vc0 \ -chardev hub,id=hub0,chardevs.0=pty0,chardevs.1=vc0 \ -device virtconsole,chardev=hub0 \ -vnc 0.0.0.0:0 Which creates 2 backend devices: text virtual console (`vc0`) and a pseudo TTY (`pty0`) connected to the single virtio hvc console with the backend aggregator (`hub0`) help. `vc0` renders text to an image, which can be shared over the VNC protocol. `pty0` is a pseudo TTY backend which provides biderectional communication to the virtio hvc console. 'chardevs.N' list syntax is used for the sake of compatibility with the representation of JSON lists in 'key=val' pairs format of the util/keyval.c, despite the fact that modern QAPI way of parsing, namely qobject_input_visitor_new_str(), is not used. Choice of keeping QAPI list sytax may help to smoothly switch to modern parsing in the future.
