From: Andreas Färber <andreas.faerber@web.de>

VMState supports the type bool but qdev instead supports bit, backed by
uint32_t. Therefore let's add PROP_TYPE_BOOL and qdev_prop_set_bool().

With non-programmers in mind, instead of universal true/false provide
two different property types:
* on/off for DEFINE_PROP_SWITCH() (requested by Jan) and
* yes/no for DEFINE_PROP_BOOL() (also accepting true/false as input).

 v7 -> v8:
 * Add missing extern qdev_prop_bool_switch for DEFINE_PROP_SWITCH().

 v6 -> v7:
 * Rename existing "boolean" type to "bit".
 * Re-introduce qdev_prop_set_bool().
 * Split "bool" into "switch" (on/off) and "boolean" (yes/no; true/false input).

 v5 -> v6:
 * Rebased onto QOM properties.
 * Parse and print true/false for bool, leave bit untouched.
 Please review, v6 untested.
 [* Accidentally dropped qdev_prop_set_bool().]

 v4 -> v5 (40P):
 * Parse on/off in addition to yes/no for both bit and bool, print yes/no for bool.

 v4 (ISA):
 * Introduced.

I just noticed that Jan's patch does strncasecmp() for bit, so if we
want those semantics here too (foo=TRUE,bar=False,foobar=yES) I can send
a v9. I really hate replying to myself though, so I'll wait a bit for
other review comments to avoid a further surge in patch revisions.

my plan for vmstate was to name this "bool32", as it feels more
descriptive (on QDEV, we can change it, but for qemu for compatibility
reasons, it needs to stay as 4 bytes on the wire, but we can have a bool
on the struct).

This are all the uses of DEFINE_PROP_BIT.

./hw/scsi-disk.c:1736:            DEFINE_PROP_BIT("removable", SCSIDiskState, removable, 0, false),

Con be movde to bool

./hw/scsi-disk.c:1780:            DEFINE_PROP_BIT("removable", SCSIDiskState, removable, 0, false),

same

./hw/usb-msd.c:658:        DEFINE_PROP_BIT("removable", MSDState, removable, 0, false),

    s->scsi_dev = scsi_bus_legacy_add_drive(&s->bus, bs, 0, !!s->removable,
                                            s->conf.bootindex);
*should* be moved to bool

As I am joining late to this discussion, I am not going to point it very
strong.  But I think that it is an easy to have a single bool type that
accept yes/on/true and no/off/false.  Didn't really see a strong
advantage with the split.

Later, Juan.

Accepting all this on input is a non-issue, but true/false as output is
suboptimal for quite a few existing and future switches.
