Now we have a thread-safe equivalent of inline operation, and that all
plugins were changed to use it, there is no point to keep the old API.
In more, it will help when we implement more functionality (conditional
callbacks), as we can assume that we operate on a scoreboard.
API version bump was already done as part of this series.

Extends API with three new functions:
qemu_plugin_register_vcpu_{tb, insn, mem}_exec_inline_per_vcpu().
Those functions takes a qemu_plugin_u64 as input.
This allows to have a thread-safe and type-safe version of inline
operations.

Additionally to the scoreboard, we define a qemu_plugin_u64, which is a
simple struct holding a pointer to a scoreboard, and a given offset.
This allows to have a scoreboard containing structs, without having to
bring offset to operate on a specific field.
Since most of the plugins are simply collecting a sum of per-cpu values,
qemu_plugin_u64 directly support this operation as well.
All inline operations defined later will use a qemu_plugin_u64 as input.
New functions:
- qemu_plugin_u64_add
- qemu_plugin_u64_get
- qemu_plugin_u64_set
- qemu_plugin_u64_sum
New macros:
- qemu_plugin_scoreboard_u64
- qemu_plugin_scoreboard_u64_in_struct

We introduce a cpu local storage, automatically managed (and extended)
by QEMU itself. Plugin allocate a scoreboard, and don't have to deal
with how many cpus are launched.
This API will be used by new inline functions but callbacks can benefit
from this as well. This way, they can operate without a global lock for
simple operations.
At any point during execution, any scoreboard will be dimensioned with
at least qemu_plugin_num_vcpus entries.
New functions:
- qemu_plugin_scoreboard_find
- qemu_plugin_scoreboard_free
- qemu_plugin_scoreboard_new

We can only request a list of registers once the vCPU has been
initialised so the user needs to use either call the get function on
vCPU initialisation or during the translation phase.
We don't expose the reg number to the plugin instead hiding it behind
an opaque handle. For now this is just the gdb_regnum encapsulated in
an anonymous GPOINTER but in future as we add more state for plugins
to track we can expand it.

This information is already accessible using qemu_info_t during plugin
install.
We will introduce another function (qemu_plugin_num_vcpus) which
represent how many cpus were enabled, by tracking new cpu indexes.
It's a breaking change, so we bump API version.

Give the plugins access to the QEMU dissasembler so they don't have to
re-invent the wheel. We generate a warning when there are spare bytes
in the decode buffer. This is usually due to the front end loading in
more bytes than decoded.
