This set of patches adds an automatic test of the vmstate via the scripts/vmstate-static-checker.py script. For this we need some reference files from an older version of QEMU. There are already some files available in tests/vmstate-static-checker-data/ but they are of no use anymore since they have been taken from machines that have already been removed a long time ago (and thus these files now get removed, too). I chose to use QEMU 7.2 for the reference files instead since this is a long term support release that is still actively being maintained, so we certainly want to make sure that we don't break migration from that version to the latest one.
