LLVM/Clang, supports runtime checks for forward-edge Control-Flow
Integrity (CFI).
CFI on indirect function calls (cfi-icall) ensures that, in indirect
function calls, the function called is of the right signature for the
pointer type defined at compile time.
For this check to work, the code must always respect the function
signature when using function pointer, the function must be defined
at compile time, and be compiled with link-time optimization.
This rules out, for example, shared libraries that are dynamically loaded
(given that functions are not known at compile time), and code that is
dynamically generated at run-time.
This patch:
1) Introduces the CONFIG_CFI flag to support cfi in QEMU
2) Introduces a decorator to allow the definition of "sensitive"
functions, where a non-instrumented function may be called at runtime
through a pointer. The decorator will take care of disabling cfi-icall
checks on such functions, when cfi is enabled.
3) Marks functions currently in QEMU that exhibit such behavior,
in particular:
- The function in TCG that calls pre-compiled TBs
- The function in TCI that interprets instructions
- Functions in the plugin infrastructures that jump to callbacks
- Functions in util that directly call a signal handler

qemu_finish_machine_init currently can only exit QEMU if it fails.
Prepare for giving it proper error propagation, and possibly for
adding a plugin_add monitor command that calls an accelerator
method.
While at it, make all errors from plugin_load look the same.

The polymorphic locking macros don't support QemuRecMutex yet. Add it
so that lock guards can be used with QemuRecMutex.
Convert TCG plugins functions that benefit from these macros. Manual
qemu_rec_mutex_lock/unlock() callers are left unmodified in cases where
clarity would not improve by switching to the macros.

This is a very simple versioning API which allows the plugin
infrastructure to check the API a plugin was built against. We also
expose a min/cur API version to the plugin via the info block in case
it wants to avoid using old deprecated APIs in the future.

This provides a limited amount of info to plugins about the guest
system that will allow them to make some additional decisions on
setup.
