hw/pci-host/dino: Don't call pci_register_root_bus() in init

In the dino PCI host bridge device, we call pci_register_root_bus()
in the device's instance_init. This is a problem for two reasons
 * the PCI bridge is then available to the rest of the simulation
   (e.g. via pci_qdev_find_device()), even though it hasn't
   yet been realized
 * we do not attempt to unregister in an instance_deinit,
   which means that if you go through an instance_init -> deinit
   lifecycle the freed memory for the host-bridge device is
   left on the pci_host_bridges list

ASAN reports the resulting use-after-free:

where we allocated one instance of the dino device, put it on the
list, freed it, and then trying to allocate a second instance touches
the freed memory on the pci_host_bridges list.

Fix this by deferring all the setup of memory regions and registering
the PCI bridge to the device's realize method.  This brings it into
line with almost all other PCI host bridges, which call
pci_register_root_bus() in realize.
