Way back in QEMU 4.0, the -audiodev command line option was introduced
for configuring audio backends. This CLI option does not use QemuOpts
so it is not visible for introspection in 'query-command-line-options',
instead using the QAPI Audiodev type.  Unfortunately there is also no
QMP command that uses the Audiodev type, so it is not introspectable
with 'query-qmp-schema' either.

This introduces a 'query-audiodev' command that simply reflects back
the list of configured -audiodev command line options. This alone is
maybe not very useful by itself, but it makes Audiodev introspectable
via 'query-qmp-schema', so that libvirt (and other upper layer tools)
can discover the available audiodevs.

Maybe clearer as 'audio backends'?

So similarly, wouldn't be clearer to name this command
'query-audio-backends'? Otherwise we need to go read QEMU
source to understand what is 'audiodevs'.

The command line parameter is called '-audiodev' and this
query-audiodevs command reports the same data, so that
looks easy enough to understand IMHO.

Should we maybe use a "x-" prefix here if we feel not certain enough about this command yet? ... that would still enable the Audiodev part in the qapi schema, but give us the flexibility to rename or drop it later in case there is some better way to enable the Audiodevs in the schema?
