Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/kraxel/tags/modules-20200707-pull-request' into staging

qom: add support for qom objects in modules.
build some devices (qxl, virtio-gpu, ccid, usb-redir) as modules.
build braille chardev as module.

v2: more verbose comment for "build: fix device module builds" patch.

note: qemu doesn't rebuild objects on cflags changes (specifically
      -fPIC being added when code is switched from builtin to module).
      Workaround for resulting build errors: "make clean", rebuild.
