[00/14] Various fixes and tweaks for 9.1-rc0/1

Message

As usual during soft freeze I switch to cleaning up the various
niggles and bugs which have accumulated over the years.

Aside from some test build tweaks and some useful tools for debugging
CI failures I've also moved tests/plugin to tests/tcg/plugins to
better align with contrib/plugins and clearly marking what is TCG
only. I took the opportunity to clean up some of the documentation
while I was at it.

Please review:

  plugin/loader: handle basic help query
  contrib/plugins: add compat for g_memdup2
  contrib/plugins: be more vocal building
  docs: split TCG plugin usage from devel section
  tests/tcg: move test plugins into tcg subdir
  tests/avocado: remove tcg_plugins virt_mem_icount test
  docs/devel: document how to run individual TCG tests
  docs/devel: update the testing introduction
  tests/tcg: update README
