In 99% cases, after QEMU migrates to dest host, it tries to detect the target VM runstate using global_state_get_runstate().
There's one outlier so far which is Xen that won't send global state. That's the major reason why global_state_received() check was always there together with global_state_get_runstate(). However it's utterly confusing why global_state_received() has anything to do with "let's start VM or not". Provide a helper to explain it, then we have an unified entry for getting the target dest QEMU runstate after migration.
