fw-cfg: support writeable blobs

Useful to send guest data back to QEMU.

Changes from Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com>:
- rebase the patch from Michael Tsirkin's original postings at [1] and [2]
  to the following patches:
  - loader: Allow a custom AddressSpace when loading ROMs
  - loader: Add AddressSpace loading support to uImages
  - loader: fix handling of custom address spaces when adding ROM blobs
- reject such writes immediately that would exceed the end of the array,
  rather than performing a partial write before setting the error bit: see
  the (len != dma.length) condition
- document the write interface
