Currently vmstate_base_addr does several things: it pinpoints the field
within the struct, possibly allocates memory and possibly does the first
pointer dereference. Obviously allocation is needed only for load.

Let us split up the functionality in vmstate_base_addr and move the
address manipulations (that is everything but the allocation logic) to
load and save so it becomes more obvious what is actually going on. Like
this all the address calculations (and the handling of the flags
controlling these) is in one place and the sequence is more obvious.

The newly introduced function vmstate_handle_alloc also fixes the
allocation for the unused VMS_VBUFFER| VMS_MULTIPLY scenario and is
substantially simpler than the original vmstate_base_addr.

In load and save some asserts are added so it's easier to debug
situations where we would end up with a null pointer dereference.

Note that VMSTATE_VBUFFER_MULTIPLY does use VMS_VBUFFER|VMS_MULTIPLY - but
not with alloc (and I started using VMSTATE_VBUFFER_MULTIPLY in a recent
patch that went in).  I'm not sure I see what the error is that you fixed.

However, I'm ok with it:

Adding |VMS_ALLOC to avoid confusion. I was hoping it's clear
form the context that we are talking about scenarios where
allocation is relevant.

I'm referring to number of bytes allocated. It was
vmstate_n_elems(opaque, field) * field->size
and became
vmstate_n_elems(opaque, field) * vmstate_size(opaque, field)

vmstate_size does extra handling for VMS_VBUFFER and
VMS_MULTIPLY.
