[PATCH v2] vl: Abort if multiple machines are registered as default

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

It would be confusing to have multiple default machines.
Abort if this ever occurs.

I'd prefer we simply change mc->is_default to bool.
There's no good reason for it to be type int, afaics.

In the meantime, there are no settings of is_default outside {0,1}, so you
could just drop the !! for now.
