Fix for parallel port passthrough for QEMU

I came across a bug that the command line generated for passthrough
of the host parallel port /dev/parport0 by libvirt for QEMU is incorrect.

    It currently produces:
    -chardev tty,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0
    -device isa-parallel,chardev=charparallel0,id=parallel0

The first parameter is "tty". It sould be "parport".

If I launch qemu with -chardev parport,... it works as expected.

    I have already filled a bug report (
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823879 ), the topic was
    already on the list some months ago:
