This series replaces INTERFACE_CHECK with OBJECT_CHECK because
both macros are exactly the same.
The last patch is a new run of the OBJECT_CHECK ->
DECLARE*_CHECKER* converter script that will convert the former
INTERFACE_CHECK-based macros.
Well, at least having a different macro allows to tweak qom implementation or replace it with something different more easily.
I have some wip branch somewhere where I actually made Interface a different beast than Object (it was saving some fields, and avoiding some potentially wrong casts iirc - I didn't bother to upstream that yet). Also I have a different branch where I played with GObject to replace qom. In both cases, your proposal would have, or would make, the work more complicated.

[automated] Use DECLARE_*CHECKER* macros
