    include/hw/irq.h: New function qemu_irq_is_connected()
    
    Mostly devices don't need to care whether one of their output
    qemu_irq lines is connected, because functions like qemu_set_irq()
    silently do nothing if there is nothing on the other end.  However
    sometimes a device might want to implement default behaviour for the
    case where the machine hasn't wired the line up to anywhere.
    
    Provide a function qemu_irq_is_connected() that devices can use for
    this purpose.  (The test is trivial but encapsulating it in a
    function makes it easier to see where we're doing it in case we need
    to change the implementation later.)
