hw/i2c: Document the I2C qdev helpers



In commit d88c42ff we added new prototype but neglected to
add their documentation. Fix that.

 * init and realize in one step).
 *
 * If you are embedding the I2C slave into another QOM device and
 * initialized it via some variant on object_initialize_child() then
 * do not use this function, because that family of functions arrange
 * for the only reference to the child device to be held by the parent
 * via the child<> property, and so the reference-count-drop done here
 * would be incorrect.  (Instead you would want i2c_slave_realize(),
 * which doesn't currently exist but would be trivial to create if we
