slirp: add 'cmd:' target for guestfwd

When using guestfwd=, Qemu only connects the virtual server's TCP port
to a single chardev. This is useless in most cases, as we usually want
to have more than a single connection from the guest to the outside world.

This patch adds a new cmd: target to guestfwd= that allows for execution
of a command on every TCP connection. This leverages the same code as
the -smb parameter, just that here the command is user defined.

+You can either use a chardev directly and have that one used throughout Qemu's

+
+@example
+# open 10.10.1.1:4321 on bootup, connect 10.0.2.100:1234 to it whenever
+# the guest accesses it
+qemu -net user,guestfwd=tcp:10.0.2.100:1234-tcp:10.10.1.1:4321 [...]

+Or you can execute a command on every TCP connection established by the guest,
+so that Qemu behaves similar to an inetd process for that virtual server:
+
+@example
+# call "netcat 10.10.1.1 4321" on every TCP connection to 10.0.2.100:1234
+# and connect the TCP stream to its stdin/stdout
+qemu -net 'user,guestfwd=tcp:10.0.2.100:1234-cmd:netcat 10.10.1.1 4321'
