hmp: dump-guest-memory: hardcode protocol argument to "file:"
Today, it's necessary to specify the protocol you want to use
when dumping the guest memory, for example:
(qemu) dump-guest-memory file:/tmp/guest-memory
This has a few issues:
1. It's cumbersome to type
2. We loose file path autocompletion
3. Being able to specify fd:X in HMP makes little sense for humans
Because of these reasons, hardcode the 'protocol' argument to
'file:' in HMP.
