7e4177a35b qemu: add vmcoreinfo support
Starting from qemu 2.11, the `-device vmcoreinfo` will create a fw_cfg
entry for a guest to store dump details, necessary to process kernel
dump with KASLR enabled and providing additional kernel details.

In essence, it is similar to -fw_cfg name=etc/vmcoreinfo,file=X but in
this case it is not backed by a file, but collected by QEMU itself.

Since the device is a singleton and shouldn't use additional hardware
resources, it is presented as a <feature> element in the libvirt
domain XML.

The device is arm/x86 only for now (targets that support fw_cfg+dma).
