In the vexpress board code, we allocate a new MemoryRegion at the top
of vexpress_common_init() but only set it up and use it inside the
"if (map[VE_NORFLASHALIAS] != -1)" conditional, so we leak it if not.
This isn't a very interesting leak as it's a tiny amount of memory
once at startup, but it's easy to fix.
We could silence Coverity simply by moving the g_new() into the
if() block, but this use of g_new(MemoryRegion, 1) is a legacy from
when this board model was originally written; we wouldn't do that
if we wrote it today. The MemoryRegions are conceptually a part of
the board and must not go away until the whole board is done with
(at the end of the simulation), so they belong in its state struct.
This machine already has a VexpressMachineState struct that extends
MachineState, so statically put the MemoryRegions in there instead of
dynamically allocating them separately at runtime.
