migration: Add canary to VMSTATE_END_OF_LIST

We fairly regularly forget VMSTATE_END_OF_LIST markers off descriptions;
given that the current check is only for ->name being NULL, sometimes
we get unlucky and the code apparently works and no one spots the error.

Explicitly add a flag, VMS_END that should be set, and assert it is
set during the traversal.

Note: This can't go in until we update the copy of vmstate.h in slirp.
