VGIC save/restore
The VGIC is a vitualised view onto the hardware interrupt controller. Add support for saving and restoring the state when snapshotting a machine, including ensuring the machine is idle, only saving what is needed, restoring into a valid state, and being able to handle upgrades in the future.

Whiteboard
[1] We were thinking about putting this in the initial upstreaming, but actually since it's an additional API rather than requiring modifications to initial-upstreaming APIs it's better to keep it separate to avoid delaying the initial upstreaming. We'll need this for migration to work, though.
[2] Won't fix as it's Christoffer's choice
