We introduce a cpu local storage, automatically managed (and extended)
by QEMU itself. Plugin allocate a scoreboard, and don't have to deal
with how many cpus are launched.
This API will be used by new inline functions but callbacks can benefit
from this as well. This way, they can operate without a global lock for
simple operations.
At any point during execution, any scoreboard will be dimensioned with
at least qemu_plugin_num_vcpus entries.
New functions:
- qemu_plugin_scoreboard_find
- qemu_plugin_scoreboard_free
- qemu_plugin_scoreboard_new

We can only request a list of registers once the vCPU has been
initialised so the user needs to use either call the get function on
vCPU initialisation or during the translation phase.
We don't expose the reg number to the plugin instead hiding it behind
an opaque handle. For now this is just the gdb_regnum encapsulated in
an anonymous GPOINTER but in future as we add more state for plugins
to track we can expand it.

We now keep track of how many vcpus were started. This way, a plugin can
easily query number of any vcpus at any point of execution, which
unifies user and system mode workflows.

This information is already accessible using qemu_info_t during plugin
install.
We will introduce another function (qemu_plugin_num_vcpus) which
represent how many cpus were enabled, by tracking new cpu indexes.
It's a breaking change, so we bump API version.

Some functions of the plugin API were missing in
the symbol list. However, they are all used by
the contributed example plugins. QEMU fails to
load the plugin if the function symbol is not
exported.

Having the plugins grab stdout and spew stuff there is a bit ugly and
certainly makes the tests look ugly. Provide a hook back into QEMU
which can be redirected as needed.

Give the plugins access to the QEMU dissasembler so they don't have to
re-invent the wheel. We generate a warning when there are spare bytes
in the decode buffer. This is usually due to the front end loading in
more bytes than decoded.
