While trying to make live detach of <console/> work, I've accumulated
couple of patches. The most reasonable ones made it into this patch set
as paches 1-4. And after nearly losing my sanity, I've decided it's not
worth supporting live detach of <console/> since <serial/> works just
fine. And that's what patch 5 does. If somebody thinks it's too harsh,
I'm more than happy to review their patches that fix the problem.
What problem? Well, for starters:

New subject: [PATCH 1/5] qemuDomainChrInsertPreAlloced: Fix adding implicit console
When hotpluging a <serial/> device, we might need to add a
<console/> device with it (because of some crazy backcompat).
Now, hotplugging is done in several phases. In one of them,
qemuDomainChrPreInsert() allocates space for both devices, and
then qemuDomainChrInsertPreAlloced() actually inserts the device
into domain definition and sets up the <console/> device with it.
Except, the condition that checks whether to create the aliased
<console/> is wrong as it compares nconsoles against 0.
Surprisingly, qemuDomainChrInsertPreAllocCleanup() doesn't suffer
from the same error.

New subject: [PATCH 2/5] qemuDomainChrRemove: Don't leak vmdef->consoles[0]
When removing the compat console from domain defintion, removing
it from the vmdef->consoles array is good, but not sufficient.
The console definition might have been fully allocated (after
daemon restarted and reloaded the status XML). Use
virDomainChrDefFree() to free also the definition.

New subject: [PATCH 3/5] qemuAssignDeviceChrAlias: Fix a crasher during <console/> hotplug
For a running guest, a <serial/> device can be hotunplugged. This
will then remove also aliased <console/>. Trying to hotplug a
<console/> device then, libvirtd crashed because it dereferences
def->consoles while there's none.

New subject: [PATCH 4/5] qemuDomainRemoveChrDevice: Deal with qemuDomainChrRemove() failure
When cleaning up after removed device, qemuDomainChrRemove() is
called. But this may fail, in which case we successfully ignore
the failure and virDomainChrDefFree() the device anyway. While it
decreases our memory consumption, it's a bit too far, especially
if the next step is 'virsh dumpxml'. Then our memory consumption
decreases all the way down to zero as we crash.

I've tried, then I've tried even harder, but still wasn't able to
make sense of our console backcompat code in all its fine
details. Since I value my sanity, let's just forbid hotunplug of
<console/>, especially since detaching of corresponding <serial/>
works.
