Accepts malformed IDs:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -netdev
type=stream,id=_,addr.type=inet,addr.host=localhost,addr.port=1234
qemu-system-x86_64: warning: netdev _ has no peer
Compare:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -netdev type=user,id=_
qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev type=user,id=_: Parameter 'id' expects an
identifier
Identifiers consist of letters, digits, '-', '.', '_', starting with a
letter.
Calling qmp_netdev_add() instead catches the error. It won't provide
the hint, though. Some callers of id_wellformed() do, some don't.
Factoring out bool check_id_wellformed(const char *id, Error **errp)
could make sense.
