Currently if the user requests via -machine dumpdtb=file.dtb that we
dump the DTB, but the machine doesn't have a DTB, we silently ignore
the option. This is confusing to users, and is a legacy of the old
board-specific implementation of the option, where if the execution
codepath didn't go via a call to qemu_fdt_dumpdtb() we would never
handle the option.
Now we handle the option in one place in machine.c, we can provide
the user with a useful message if they asked us to dump a DTB when
none exists. qmp_dumpdtb() already produces this error; remove the
logic in handle_machine_dumpdtb() that was there specifically to
avoid hitting it.
While we're here, beef up the error message a bit with a hint, and
make it consistent about "an FDT" rather than "a FDT". (In the
qmp_dumpdtb() case this needs an ERRP_GUARD to make
error_append_hint() work when the caller passes error_fatal.)
Note that the three places where we might report "doesn't have an
FDT" are hit in different situations:
(1) in handle_machine_dumpdtb(), if CONFIG_FDT is not set: this is
because the QEMU binary was built without libfdt at all. The
build system will not let you build with a machine type that
needs an FDT but no libfdt, so here we know both that the machine
doesn't use FDT and that QEMU doesn't have the support:
(2) in the device_tree-stub.c qmp_dumpdtb(): this is used when
we had libfdt at build time but the target architecture didn't
enable any machines which did "select DEVICE_TREE", so here we
know that the machine doesn't use FDT.
(3) in qmp_dumpdtb(), if current_machine->fdt is NULL all we know
is that this machine never set it. That might be because it doesn't
use FDT, or it might be because the user didn't pass an FDT
on the command line and the machine doesn't autogenerate an FDT.

Currently we handle the 'dumpdtb' machine sub-option ad-hoc in every
board model that has an FDT. It's up to the board code to make sure
it calls qemu_fdt_dumpdtb() in the right place.
This means we're inconsistent and often just ignore the user's
command line argument:
* if the board doesn't have an FDT at all
* if the board supports FDT, but there happens not to be one
present (usually because of a missing -fdt option)
This isn't very helpful because it gives the user no clue why their
option was ignored.
However, in order to support the QMP/HMP dumpdtb commands we require
now that every FDT machine stores a pointer to the FDT in
MachineState::fdt. This means we can handle -machine dumpdtb
centrally by calling the qmp_dumpdtb() function, unifying its
handling with the QMP/HMP commands. All the board code calls to
qemu_fdt_dumpdtb() can then be removed.
For this commit we retain the existing behaviour that if there
is no FDT we silently ignore the -machine dumpdtb option.

The general expectation is that header files should follow the same
file/path naming scheme as the corresponding source file. There are
various historical exceptions to this practice in QEMU, with one of
the most notable being the include/qapi/qmp/ directory. Most of the
headers there correspond to source files in qobject/.
This patch corrects most of that inconsistency by creating
include/qobject/ and moving the headers for qobject/ there.
This also fixes MAINTAINERS for include/qapi/qmp/dispatch.h:
scripts/get_maintainer.pl now reports "QAPI" instead of "No
maintainers found".

Headers in include/sysemu/ are not only related to system
*emulation*, they are also used by virtualization. Rename
as system/ which is clearer.
