HMP: support specifying dump format for dump-guest-memory

Dumping guest memory is available to specify the dump format now. This patch
adds options '-z|-l|-s' to HMP command dump-guest-memory to specify dumping in
kdump-compression format, with zlib/lzo/snappy compression. And without these
options ELF format will be used.

The discussion about this feature is here:
