After reporting the GUEST_PANICKED monitor event, QEMU stops the VM.
The reason for this is that events are edge-triggered, and can be lost if
management dies at the wrong time. Stopping a panicked VM lets management
know of a panic even if it has crashed; management can learn about the
panic when it restarts and queries running QEMU processes. The downside
is of course that the VM will be paused while management is not running,
but that is acceptable if it only happens with explicit "-device pvpanic".
Upon learning of a panic, management (if configured to do so) can pick a
variety of behaviors: leave the VM paused, reset it, destroy it. In
addition to all of these behaviors, it is possible to dump the VM core
from the host.
However, right now, the panicked state is irreversible, and can only be
exited by resetting the machine. This means that any policy decision
is entirely in the hands of the host. In particular there is no way to
use the "reboot on panic" option together with pvpanic.
This patch makes the panicked state reversible (and removes various
workarounds that were there because of the state being irreversible).
With this change, management has a wider set of possible policies: it
can just log the crash and leave policy to the guest, it can leave the
VM paused. In particular, the "log the crash and continue" is implemented
simply by sending a "cont" as soon as management learns about the panic.
Management could also implement the "irreversible paused state" itself.
And again, all such actions can be coupled with dumping the VM core.
Unfortunately we cannot change the behavior of 1.6.0. Thus, even if
it uses "-device pvpanic", management should check for "cont" failures.
If "cont" fails, management can then log that the VM remained paused
and urge the administrator to update QEMU.

SO_REUSEADDR should be avoided on Windows but is desired on other operating
systems. So instead of setting it we call socket_set_fast_reuse that will result
in the appropriate behaviour on all operating systems.

Commit a0e372f0c4 reorganized the register
counting for GDB. While it seems correct not to let the total number of
registers skyrocket in an SMP scenario through a static variable, the
distinction between total register count and 'g' packet register count
(last_reg vs. num_g_regs) got lost among the way.
Fix this by introducing CPUState::gdb_num_g_regs and using that in
gdb_handle_packet().

While in general we forbid a "continue" from the guest panicked
state, it makes sense to have an exception for that when continuing
in the debugger. Perhaps the guest entered that state due to a bug,
for example, and we want to continue no matter what.

This commit used the wrong check to prevent an assertion failure.
After this commit, you need to start a guest in the monitor, you
cannot use anymore the "c" command in the debugger. This is
undesirable. The commit's aim was to prevent a restart
after a KVM internal error or something like that; use
runstate_needs_reset() for that.
