[PATCH v3 0/4] Simplify initialization of PC machines

[Bernhard Beschow]

The series aims to simplify the initialization process of all PC-based machines
by streamlining redundant code.

Since I haven't seen patches on the list so far for folding CMOS data
generation into pc.c, which frees all PC machines from performing this duty
explicitly, I've appended this cleanup as the last two patches.

Testing done:
* `make check` -> all tests pass
* `make check-avocado`
* I'm sending this series from within a VM containing these changes.

v3:
* Rebase onto master
* Fix boot-order-test
* Remove the "rtc_state" link again which got accidently reintroduced
* Add patch avoiding one use of the current_machine global

v2:
* Rebase onto master, leaving only patches 1, 3, and 5
* Patch 2: Rename "bus" attribute to "pcibus" (Phil)
* Patch 4: Spotted while rebasing
* Patch 6: New patch possible after [1]

Best regards,
Bernhard
