vmstate.h: Type check VMSTATE_STRUCT_VARRAY macros

The VMSTATE_STRUCT_VARRAY_UINT32 macro is intended to handle
migrating a field which is an array of structs, but where instead of
migrating the entire array we only migrate a variable number of
elements of it.

The VMSTATE_STRUCT_VARRAY_POINTER_UINT32 macro is intended to handle
migrating a field which is of pointer type, and points to a
dynamically allocated array of structs of variable size.

We weren't actually checking that the field passed to
VMSTATE_STRUCT_VARRAY_UINT32 really is an array, with the result that
accidentally using it where the _POINTER_ macro was intended would
compile but silently corrupt memory on migration.

Add type-checking that enforces that the field passed in is
really of the right array type. This applies to all the VMSTATE
macros which use flags including VMS_VARRAY_* but not VMS_POINTER.
