Comparing json outputs from qemu-1.0 with qemu-2.1 turned up a few
description name changes; whitelist them here.

Commit 292b1634 changed the section name of "ICH9 LPC" to "ICH9-LPC",
and that causes the static checker to flag this:
Section "ICH9 LPC" does not exist in dest
This patch introduces a function that checks for section renames and
also a dictionary that maps those renames.

This is a small patch to a script; doesn't break qemu and helps with the
static checker, so it's a very low-risk patch for 2.1.
This script compares the vmstate dumps in JSON format as output by QEMU
with the -dump-vmstate option.
It flags various errors, like version mismatch, sections going away,
size mismatches, etc.
This script is tolerant of a few changes that do not change the on-wire
format, like embedding a few fields within substructs.
The script takes -s/--src and -d/--dest parameters, to which filenames
are given as arguments.
Example:
(in a qemu 2.0 tree):
./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -dump-vmstate qemu-2.0.json
(in a qemu 2.2 tree:)
./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -dump-vmstate -M pc-i440fx-2.0 \
qemu-2.2-m2.0.json
./scripts/vmstate-static-checker.py -s qemu-2.0.json -d qemu-2.2-m2.0.json
The script also takes a --reverse parameter to switch the src and dest
jsons. This is just a shorthand for reversing the src and dest.
The --help parameter shows usage information.
