[SeaBIOS] [RFC PATCH v3 16/19] Update dimm state on reset

in case of hot-remove failure on a guest that does not implement _OST,
the dimm bitmaps in qemu and Seabios show the dimm as unplugged, but the dimm
is still present on the qdev/memory bus. To avoid this inconsistency, we set the
dimm state to active/hot-plugged on a reset of the associated acpi_pm device.
This way the dimm is still active after a VM reboot and dimm visibility has
always the same behaviour, regardless of _OST support in the guest.
