Currently, -smbios type=T,NAME=VAL,... adds one field (T,NAME) with
value VAL to fw_cfg for each unique NAME. If NAME occurs multiple
times, the last one's VAL is used (before the QemuOpts conversion, the
first one was used).
Multiple -smbios can add multiple fields with the same (T, NAME).
SeaBIOS reads all of them from fw_cfg, but uses only the first field
(T, NAME). The others are ignored.
"First one wins, subsequent ones get ignored silently" isn't nice. We
commonly let the last option win. Useful, because it lets you
-readconfig first, then selectively override with command line
options.
Clean up -smbios to work the common way. Accumulate the settings,
with later ones overwriting earlier ones. Put the result into fw_cfg
(no more useless duplicates).
Bonus cleanup: qemu_uuid_parse() no longer sets SMBIOS system uuid by
side effect.

So that it can be set in config file for -readconfig.
This tightens parsing of -smbios, and makes it more consistent with
other options: unknown parameters are rejected, numbers with trailing
junk are rejected, when a parameter is given multiple times, last
rather than first wins, ...

It exits on all error conditions but one, where it returns -1.
Normalize, and return void.

Having size precede the associated pointer is odd. Swap them, and fix

Many of these should be cleaned up with proper qdev-/QOM-ification.
Right now there are many catch-all headers in include/hw/ARCH depending
on cpu.h, and this makes it necessary to compile these files per-target.
However, fixing this does not belong in these patches.
