The possible choices for panic, reset and watchdog actions are inconsistent.
"-action panic=poweroff" should be renamed to "-action panic=shutdown"
on the command line. This is because "-action panic=poweroff" and
"-action watchdog=poweroff" have slightly different semantics, the first
does an unorderly exit while the second goes through qemu_cleanup(). With
this change, -no-shutdown would not have to change "-action panic=pause"
"pause", just like it does not have to change the reset action.
"-action reboot=none" should be renamed to "-action reboot=reset".
This should be self explanatory, since for example "-action panic=none"
lets the guest proceed without taking any action.

Despite it's name it didn't actually clean-up so let us document
gdb_exit() better and use that.

The current default action of pausing a guest after a panic event
is received leaves the responsibility to resume guest execution to the
management layer. The reasons for this behavior are discussed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/52148F88.5000509@redhat.com/
However, in instances like the case of older guests (Linux and
Windows) using a pvpanic device but missing support for the
PVPANIC_CRASHLOADED event, and Windows guests using the hv-crash
enlightenment, it is desirable to allow the guests to continue
running after sending a PVPANIC_PANICKED event. This allows such
guests to proceed to capture a crash dump and automatically reboot
without intervention of a management layer.
Add an option to avoid stopping a VM after a panic event is received,
by passing:
-action panic=none
in the command line arguments, or during runtime by using an upcoming
QMP command.

Add a QMP command to allow for the behaviors specified by the
-no-reboot and -no-shutdown command line option to be set at runtime.
The new command is named set-action and takes optional arguments, named
after an event, that provide a corresponding action to take.
Example:
-> { "execute": "set-action",
"arguments": {
"reboot": "none",
"shutdown": "poweroff",
"watchdog": "debug" } }
<- { "return": {} }
