db633275b0 - several improvements to the optional plugin control 
- SIM->opt_plugin_ctrl() now can be used to verify the optional plugin
    configuration when using the plugin name "*". The 'load' value 1 makes
    sure that all plugins with the value 1 are loaded. The 'load' value 0
    unloads all plugin with the value 0 (marked for removal).
  - add the default set of plugins to the 'plugin_ctrl' list and load all these
    pre-defined optional plugins before parsing the configuration.
  - special wx case: verify plugin configuration before showing the plugin
    control dialog and before initialising hardware.
  - device plugins that have been loaded, but not configured now set their
    plugin control value to 0. Added the plugin unload check before signalling reset.

Stanislav Shwartsman
071c5c1a26 A lot of changes but everything is really trivial. 
Make save/restore default feature, the configure option for save/restore removed from configure script and save/restore made available forever. All code now assume it is exists. Bochs save/restore tree previosly called "save_restore" renamed to "bochs" tree and it will be havily used everywhere, starting from save/restore and ending by various bochs debugger functions. I am going to rework debugger code to get rid of debug CPU access functions and use this "bochs" param tree instead
