fd_write_vmcore() will indefinitely spin for a non-blocking
file-descriptor that would block. However, if the fd is non-blocking,
how does it make sense to spin?
Change this behavior to return an error instead.
Note that this can only happen with an fd provided by a management
application. The fd opened internally by dump-guest-memory is blocking.
While there, also fix 'writen_size' variable name.

dump.c was recently added to the code. It unconditionally
includes sys/procfs which is not available with MinGW (w32, w64).
It looks like this file is not needed at all (tested on Linux),
so I removed it completely.
Some other include statements are also redundant because they are
already included in qemu-common, therefore they were removed, too.

This simplifies things, because they will only be included for softmmu
targets and because the stubs are taken out-of-line in separate files,
which in the future could even be compiled only once.

The command's usage:
dump-guest-memory [-p] protocol [begin] [length]
The supported protocol can be file or fd:
1. file: the protocol starts with "file:", and the following string is
the file's path.
2. fd: the protocol starts with "fd:", and the following string is the
fd's name.
Note:
1. If you want to use gdb to process the core, please specify -p option.
The reason why the -p option is not default is:
a. guest machine in a catastrophic state can have corrupted memory,
which we cannot trust.
b. The guest machine can be in read-mode even if paging is enabled.
For example: the guest machine uses ACPI to sleep, and ACPI sleep
state goes in real-mode.
2. If you don't want to dump all guest's memory, please specify the start
physical address and the length.
