This series adds a new thread-safe API to declare inline operation
inside plugins. As well, it removes the existing non thread-safe API,
and migrates all existing plugins to use it.

Tested on Linux (user, system) for i386, x86_64 and aarch64.

To give some context, this a long term series of work around plugins,
with the goal to be able to do basic operations in a more performant and
accurate way. This will mean to add more inline operations and
conditional callbacks.

One final target of this work is to implement a plugin that implements
the icount=auto feature, and allow QEMU to run at a given "frequency"
based on number of instructions executed, without QEMU needing to keep
track of this.

Another final target is to be able to detect control flow changes in an
efficient and elegant way, by combining inline operation and conditional
callbacks.

v2
--

Implement scoreboard API (cpu local storage), so plugins don't have to deal
with how many cpus are used.

Since plugins have been modified again, I didn't transfer any reviewed-by on
those commits.

v3
--

- introduce qemu_plugin_num_vcpus (how many cpus were initialized)
- fix order of plugin init/idle/resume callbacks
- scoreboard:
  - renamed qemu_plugin_u64_t -> qemu_plugin_u64
  - some functions rename for scoreboard api
  - qemu_plugin_u64 has only value based function (vs address before)
- various cleanup thanks to review of previous series

I've cherry-picked 3 and 4 into plugins/next so I can re-base the
registers work. I'll have a look at the rest of the series once I'm back
at my desk.

Actually belay that, I'm caught in a circular dependency because this is
based on the registers series. I'll sort it out tomorrow.

You'll need 1 and 2 too, which allows to get number of cpus init, used 
in 4. You can as well submit this as part of register series if you 
prefer, so there won't be any conflict.
