kvm: Common device control API functions

Introduces two simple functions:
    int kvm_device_ioctl(int fd, int type, ...);
    int kvm_create_device(KVMState *s, uint64_t type, bool test);

These functions wrap the basic ioctl-based interactions with KVM in a
way similar to other KVM ioctl wrappers.
