qom: Allow optional sugar props

Global properties have an @optional field, which allows to apply a given
property to a given type even if one of its subclasses doesn't support
it. This is especially used in the compat code when dealing with the
"disable-modern" and "disable-legacy" properties and the "virtio-pci"
type.

Allow object_register_sugar_prop() to set this field as well.
