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.)
