Now that there is no RUN_STATE_PRECONFIG anymore that can conflict with
RUN_STATE_INMIGRATE, we can allow -incoming defer with -preconfig.

why limit it only to 'defer'?

After these patches, the difference between "-incoming defer" and 
"-incoming foo" is very small: the latter adds an automatic 
"migrate-incoming foo" at the tail of x-exit-preconfig, and that's it.

At the time I sent these patches, my plan was to replace 
x-exit-preconfig with a command "finish-machine-init" that the user 
would follow with one of "cont", "migrate-incoming" or "loadvm".  So it 
would make sense to have "-incoming defer" only, because without 
"x-exit-preconfig" there's no command that triggers incoming migration 
as specified with "-incoming foo".

Then I sent only the minimal (so to speak) beginning of the series, but 
decided to be consrvative in what to allow on the command line.  Since 
you are interacting with the monitor anyway to exit preconfig, you can 
use it to send the migrate-incoming command.

Thanks,

Paolo
