[GIT PULL 9/9] qapi/dump: add allowed-by-guest feature to win-dmp

["Marc-André Lureau" <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com>]

From: "Denis V. Lunev" <den@openvz.org>

Commit 1c0e259c5a35 ("dump: make win_dump_available() check vmcoreinfo
for a Windows dump header") changed two things in a way that is visible
to QMP clients but not to introspection:
query-dump-guest-memory-capability now lists win-dmp only for a guest
that has published a Windows dump header through the vmcoreinfo device,
and dump-guest-memory, which shares win_dump_available(), rejects the
format otherwise. Before that, both accepted win-dmp on any x86
machine.

A client that wants to select win-dmp automatically therefore cannot
trust the capability query on its own: on an older QEMU it reports
win-dmp for every x86 guest, Linux ones included, where the resulting
dump is useless. libvirt ran into exactly this while picking a format
for on_crash and watchdog triggered dumps, and has no way to tell the
two behaviours apart.

Add an 'allowed-by-guest' feature to the win-dmp member of
DumpGuestMemoryFormat so the fixed behaviour becomes discoverable.
DumpGuestMemoryFormat is reachable from both
query-dump-guest-memory-capability's return type and
dump-guest-memory's arguments, so a single flag covers both halves of
the change. Where the feature is absent, a reported win-dmp says
nothing about the guest, and a client that needs the dump to be
loadable afterwards should fall back to elf.
