qom: add helper macro DEFINE_TYPES()

DEFINE_TYPES() will help to simplify following routine patterns:

 static void foo_register_types(void)
 {
    type_register_static(&foo1_type_info);
    type_register_static(&foo2_type_info);
    ...
 }

 type_init(foo_register_types)

or

 static void foo_register_types(void)
 {
    int i;

    for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(type_infos); i++) {
        type_register_static(&type_infos[i]);
    }
 }

 type_init(foo_register_types)

with a single line

 DEFINE_TYPES(type_infos)

where types have static definition which could be consolidated in
a single array of TypeInfo structures.
It saves us ~6-10LOC per use case and would help to replace
imperative foo_register_types() there with declarative style of
type registration.
