Alejandro Jimenez c753e8e725 vl: Add option to avoid stopping VM upon guest panic
The current default action of pausing a guest after a panic event
is received leaves the responsibility to resume guest execution to the
management layer. The reasons for this behavior are discussed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/52148F88.5000509@redhat.com/

However, in instances like the case of older guests (Linux and
Windows) using a pvpanic device but missing support for the
PVPANIC_CRASHLOADED event, and Windows guests using the hv-crash
enlightenment, it is desirable to allow the guests to continue
running after sending a PVPANIC_PANICKED event. This allows such
guests to proceed to capture a crash dump and automatically reboot
without intervention of a management layer.

Add an option to avoid stopping a VM after a panic event is received,
by passing:

-action panic=none

in the command line arguments, or during runtime by using an upcoming
QMP command.
