One of the annoyances of the current migration format is the fact that
it's not self-describing. In fact, it's not properly describing at all.
Some code randomly scattered throughout QEMU elaborates roughly how to
read and write a stream of bytes.
We discussed an idea during KVM Forum 2013 to add a JSON description of
the migration protocol itself to the migration stream. This patch
adds a section after the VM_END migration end marker that contains
description data on what the device sections of the stream are composed of.
This approach is backwards compatible with any QEMU version reading the
stream, because QEMU just stops reading after the VM_END marker and ignores
any data following it.
With an additional external program this allows us to decipher the
contents of any migration stream and hopefully make migration bugs easier
to track down.

Modify some of tests/test-vmstate.c due to qemu_bufopen() change.
If you create a QEMUSizedBuffer yourself, you have to explicitly
free it.

Modify some of tests/test-vmstate.c to use the in memory file based
on QEMUSizedBuffer to provide basic testing of QEMUSizedBuffer and
the associated memory backed QEMUFile type.
Only some of the tests are changed so that the fd backed QEMUFile is
still tested.

Smatch also complains about 0 used for pointers, so replace those by
NULL in test-visitor-serialization.c, too.

This commit refactor the simple tests to test all integer types. We
move to hex because it is easier to read values of different types.

After previous Peter patch, they are redundant. This way we don't
assign them except when needed. Once there, there were lots of case
where the ".fields" indentation was wrong:
.fields = (VMStateField []) {
and
.fields = (VMStateField []) {
Change all the combinations to:
.fields = (VMStateField[]){
The biggest problem (appart from aesthetics) was that checkpatch complained
when we copy&pasted the code from one place to another.
