keyval: New keyval_parse()

keyval_parse() parses KEY=VALUE,... into a QDict.  Works like
qemu_opts_parse(), except:

* Returns a QDict instead of a QemuOpts (d'oh).

* Supports nesting, unlike QemuOpts: a KEY is split into key
  fragments at '.' (dotted key convention; the block layer does
  something similar on top of QemuOpts).  The key fragments are QDict
  keys, and the last one's value is updated to VALUE.

* Each key fragment may be up to 127 bytes long.  qemu_opts_parse()
  limits the entire key to 127 bytes.

* Overlong key fragments are rejected.  qemu_opts_parse() silently
  truncates them.

* Empty key fragments are rejected.  qemu_opts_parse() happily
  accepts empty keys.

* It does not store the returned value.  qemu_opts_parse() stores it
  in the QemuOptsList.

* It does not treat parameter "id" specially.  qemu_opts_parse()
  ignores all but the first "id", and fails when its value isn't
  id_wellformed(), or duplicate (a QemuOpts with the same ID is
  already stored).  It also screws up when a value contains ",id=".

* Implied value is not supported.  qemu_opts_parse() desugars "foo" to
  "foo=on", and "nofoo" to "foo=off".

* An implied key's value can't be empty, and can't contain ','.

I intend to grow this into a saner replacement for QemuOpts.  It'll
take time, though.

Note: keyval_parse() provides no way to do lists, and its key syntax
is incompatible with the __RFQDN_ prefix convention for downstream
extensions, because it blindly splits at '.', even in __RFQDN_.  Both
issues will be addressed later in the series.
