Add necessary rules and flags for shared object generation.
$(common-obj-m) will include $(block-obj-m), like $(common-obj-y) does
for $(block-obj-y). The new rules introduced here are:

0) For all %.so compiling:

    QEMU_CFLAGS += -fPIC

1) %.o in $(common-obj-m) is compiled to %.o, then linked to %.so.

2) %.mo in $(common-obj-m) is the placeholder for %.so for pattern
matching in Makefile. It's linked to "-shared" with all its dependencies
(multiple *.o) as input. Which means the list of depended objects must
be ruled out in each sub-Makefile.objs with an variable:

    foo.mo-objs := bar.o baz.o qux.o

in the same style with foo.o-cflags and foo.o-libs.

This spectacularly breaks compilation if you don't have libtool
(which is currently an entirely optional dependency).

Test build/configure command, for x86-64 linux:

rm -rf build/x86 && mkdir build/x86 && (cd build/x86 && LIBTOOL=
../../configure --target-list=arm-softmmu --enable-debug --cc='ccache
gcc' --disable-smartcard-nss) && make -C build/x86 -j4

Fails like this:

If we make libtool mandatory then (a) we need to make configure
bail out if it can't find it (b) we need to flag it up in the release notes
as a new mandatory dependency.

I'd really prefer it if we could avoid it though; among other things
MacOSX doesn't ship with a GNU libtool.

It's a bug in patch 03 (missing comma, again), I'll fix it in next revision.

Thanks for testing.

Missing comma here:         ^

So link is broken without libtool.
