wdt_i6300esb: fix vmstate versioning
When this VMSD was introduced it's version fields were set to
sizeof(I6300State), making them essentially random from build to build,
version to version.
To fix this, we lock in a high version id and low minimum version id to
support old->new migration from all prior versions of this device's
state. This should work since the device state has not changed since
its introduction.
The potentially breaks migration from 1.5+ to 1.5, but since the
versioning was essentially random prior to this patch, new->old
migration was not consistently functional to begin with.
