Markus Armbruster ec150c7e09 include: Make headers more self-contained
Back in 2016, we discussed[1] rules for headers, and these were
generally liked:

1. Have a carefully curated header that's included everywhere first.  We
   got that already thanks to Peter: osdep.h.

2. Headers should normally include everything they need beyond osdep.h.
   If exceptions are needed for some reason, they must be documented in
   the header.  If all that's needed from a header is typedefs, put
   those into qemu/typedefs.h instead of including the header.

3. Cyclic inclusion is forbidden.

This patch gets include/ closer to obeying 2.

It's actually extracted from my "[RFC] Baby steps towards saner
headers" series[2], which demonstrates a possible path towards
checking 2 automatically.  It passes the RFC test there.
