Since change b3cddba9c14b034 ("hw/smbios: fix table memory corruption with large memory vms")
we reserve additional memory space between tables 17 and 19 for large VMs.
This may cause table 19 to collide with table 32 for those VMs. This change
adds an assertion to make sure table 19 does not extend into the memory used
by table 32.

same as in 2/3 (here and commit message), tables do not overlap
