[PATCH v2 1/2] hw/isa: add function to check for existence of device by its type

[Liav Albani]

This function enumerates all attached ISA devices in the machine, and
tries to compare a given device type name to the enumerated devices.
For example, this can help other code to determine if a i8042 controller
exists in the machine.
