Fixes a QEMU crash when passing dump_guest_core parameter in command line.

Explain that, please?

Pls note the submission date.  It's 1 month late to ask for
basic clarifications.

I've merged the patches, I'll fix up issues such as prettifying
includes by adding patches on top.

No, since the patch is not in qemu.git (it builds!) it is not too late
to fix it, nor too late to ask why a patch that introduces a breakage
does what it does.

Getting review that late is decidedly suboptimal, but no excuse to
invoke maintainer privilege to ram the patch through unchanged.

Cosmetic issues can be tidied up on top.  The ongoing review may produce
nothing but cosmetic issues, but we don't know that, yet.

Cool, review is good. What I wanted to say though is that I'm not
holding up a patchset that's been around for a month just because
of cosmetics and basic questions.
So I intend to send pull request this evening - I don't think we want to
live with known crashers any longer - crashes waste tester's time.

Commit messages can't be tidied up on top, and they're dirt cheap to
improve right in place, so let's do that, please.

Sure. Marcel, can you pls supply the command line that
produces the crash? I'll include that.
Sure you just have to use the option:
qemu-bin ... -machine pc,dump-guest-core=on

x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -machine pc,dump-guest-core=on
qemu-system-x86_64: qemu/util/qemu-option.c:387: qemu_opt_get_bool_helper: Assertion 
`opt->desc && opt->desc->type == QEMU_OPT_BOOL' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

Thanks,
Marcel
