I guess we can expand these helpers if we add more property types later.

Interesting dissimilarity between existing types, but not the fault of
your patch.

Okay so far.

Aren't these four enums rather than ints?

So enum_table has priority over prop_info_is_int(), in which case, the
four types I pointed out as being enums will still use set_str() rather
than set_int().

I'm not necessarily sold on this patch - previously, the type was local
to the declaration of the struct (you could tell by reading
qdev_prop_bit that it was a boolean type); now the type is remote (you
have to hunt elsewhere to see how the property is categorized).  I'm not
rejecting it (I see how getting rid of a dependency on QType makes it
easier for the rest of the series to change QType underpinnings), but
wonder if that is a strong enough justification.

But if we DO keep it, you'll want a v2 that cleans up the
prop_info_is_int() impedance mismatch.
