hw/ppc: Enable fadump for PSeries

Browse Source 
With all support in place for preserving memory regions, enable fadump by
exporting the "ibm,kernel-dump" property in the device tree, representing
the fadump dump information, in case of a crash.

Currently "ibm,configure-kernel-dump" RTAS call is already registered,
which tells the kernel that the platform (QEMU) supports fadump.

Now, in case of a crash, if fadump was registered, we also pass
"ibm,kernel-dump" in device tree, which tells the kernel that the fadump
dump is active.

Pass "fadump=on" to enable Linux to use firmware assisted dump.

Logs of a linux boot with firmware assisted dump:

    $ ./build/qemu-system-ppc64 -M pseries,x-vof=on --cpu power10 --smp 4 -m 4G -kernel some-vmlinux -initrd some-initrd -append "debug fadump=on crashkernel=1G" -nographic
