Badly formatted migration streams can go undetected or produce
misleading errors due to a lock of checking at the end of sections.
In particular a section that adds an extra 0x00 at the end
causes what looks like a normal end of stream and thus doesn't produce
any errors, and something that ends in a 0x01..0x04 kind of look
like real section headers and then fail when the section parser tries
to figure out which section they are. This is made worse by the
choice of 0x00..0x04 being small numbers that are particularly common
in normal section data.
This patch adds a section footer consisting of a marker (0x7e - ~)
followed by the section-id that was also sent in the header. If
they mismatch then it throws an error explaining which section was
being loaded.

We create optional sections with this patch. But we already have
optional subsections. Instead of having two mechanism that do the
same, we can just generalize it.
For subsections we just change:
- Add a needed function to VMStateDescription
- Remove VMStateSubsection (after removal of the needed function
it is just a VMStateDescription)
- Adjust the whole tree, moving the needed function to the corresponding
VMStateDescription

Currently, vmstate.h includes helper macro variants for 8, 16 and 32-bit
unsigned integers which include a "test" function which can selectively
enable or disable the field's presence in the migration stream.
There aren't similar helpers for 64-bit unsigned integers, or any size of
signed integers. This patch remedies this.

One of the annoyances of the current migration format is the fact that
it's not self-describing. In fact, it's not properly describing at all.
Some code randomly scattered throughout QEMU elaborates roughly how to
read and write a stream of bytes.
We discussed an idea during KVM Forum 2013 to add a JSON description of
the migration protocol itself to the migration stream. This patch
adds a section after the VM_END migration end marker that contains
description data on what the device sections of the stream are composed of.
This approach is backwards compatible with any QEMU version reading the
stream, because QEMU just stops reading after the VM_END marker and ignores
any data following it.
With an additional external program this allows us to decipher the
contents of any migration stream and hopefully make migration bugs easier
to track down.

For ftell we flush the output buffer to ensure that we don't have anything
lingering in our internal buffers. This is a very safe thing to do.
However, with the dynamic size measurement that the dynamic vmstate
description will bring this would turn out quite slow.
Instead, we can fast path this specific measurement and just take the
internal buffers into account when telling the kernel our position.
I'm sure I overlooked some corner cases where this doesn't work, so
instead of tuning the safe, existing version, this patch adds a fast
variant of ftell that gets used by the dynamic vmstate description code
which isn't critical when it fails.

After the next patch, each vmstate field will extract parts of a larger
(32x512-bit) array, so we cannot check the vmstate field against the
type of the array.
While changing this, change the macros to accept the index of the first
element (which will not be 0 for Hi16_ZMM_REGS) instead of the number
of elements (which is always CPU_NB_REGS).
