Florian Hofhammer c22ea55b3b plugins: return bool from register r/w API ...

The qemu_plugin_{read,write} register API previously was inconsistent
with regard to its docstring (where a return value of both -1 and 0
would indicate an error) and to the memory read/write APIs, which
already return a boolean value to indicate success or failure.
Returning the number of bytes read or written is superfluous, as the
GByteArray* passed to the API functions already encodes the length.
See the linked thread for more details.

This patch moves from returning an int (number of bytes read/written) to
returning a bool from the register read/write API, bumps the plugin API
version, and adjusts plugins and tests accordingly.
