conf: put all guest-related HostdevDef data in one object
To help consolidate the commonality between virDomainHostdevDef and virDomainNetDef into as few members as possible (and because I think it makes sense), this patch moves the rombar and bootIndex members into the "info" member that is common to both (and to all the other structs that use them). It's a bit problematic that this gives rombar and bootIndex to many device types that don't use them, but this is already the case for the master and mastertype members of virDomainDeviceInfo, and is properly commented as such in the definition. Note that this opens the door to supporting rombar for other devices that are attached to the guest PCI bus - virtio-blk-pci, virtio-net-pci, various other network adapters - which which have that capability in qemu, but previously had no support in libvirt.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
