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.
