[PATCH v3 28/30] qom: Add user_creatable_parse_str()

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The system emulator has a more complicated way of handling command line
options in that it reorders options before it processes them. This means
that parsing object options and creating the object happen at two
different points. Split the parsing part into a separate function that
can be reused by the system emulator command line.
