fw-cfg: turn FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS into a device property

Browse source 
We'd like to raise the value of FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS. Doing it naively could
lead to problems with backward migration: a more recent QEMU (running an
older machine type) would allow the guest, in fw_cfg_select(), to select a
high key value that is unavailable in the same machine type implemented by
the older (target) QEMU. On the target host, fw_cfg_data_read() for
example could dereference nonexistent entries.

As first step, size the FWCfgState.entries[*] and FWCfgState.entry_order
arrays dynamically. All three array sizes will be influenced by the new
field FWCfgState.file_slots (and matching device property).

Make the following changes:

- Replace the FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS macro with FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS_MIN (minimum
  count of fw_cfg file slots) in the header file. The value remains 0x10.

- Replace all uses of FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS with a helper function called
  fw_cfg_file_slots(), returning the new property.

- Eliminate the macro FW_CFG_MAX_ENTRY, and replace all its uses with a
  helper function called fw_cfg_max_entry().

- In the MMIO- and IO-mapped realize functions both, allocate all three
  arrays dynamically, based on the new property.

- The new property defaults to FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS_MIN. This is going to be
  customized in the following patches.
