[RFC PATCH v2 10/16] qdev-monitor: allow adding any sysbus device before machine is ready

[Damien Hedde <damien.hedde@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Skip the sysbus device type per-machine allow-list check before the
MACHINE_INIT_PHASE_READY phase.

This patch permits adding any sysbus device (it still needs to be
user_creatable) when using the -preconfig experimental option.

This commit is RFC. Depending on the condition to allow a device
to be added, it may change.
