Since change b3cddba9c14b034 ("hw/smbios: fix table memory corruption with large memory vms")
we reserve additional space between handle numbers of tables 17 and 19 for
large VMs. This may cause table 19 to collide with table 32 in their handle
numbers for those large VMs. This change adds an assertion to ensure numbers
do not collide. If they do, qemu crashes with useful debug information for
taking additional steps.
