The -M memory.* options do not have magic applied to them like the -m option, namely no "M" (for mebibytes) is tacked at the end of a suffixless value for "-M memory.size".
This magic is performed by parse_memory_options, and we have to do it for both "-m" and the [memory] section of a config file. Storing [memory] sections directly to machine_opts_dict changed the meaning of [memory] size = "1024" in a -readconfig file from 1024MiB to 8KiB (1024 Bytes rounded up to 8KiB silently). To avoid this, the [memory] section has to be changed back to QemuOpts (combining [memory] and "-m" will work fine thanks to .merge_lists being true). Change parse_memory_options() so that, similar to the older function set_memory_options(), it operates after command line parsing is done; and also call it where set_memory_options() used to be. Note, the parsing code uses exit(1) instead of exit(EXIT_FAILURE) to match neighboring code.
