If the memory is not backed by a file then it is possible to enable
Transparent Huge Pages on the memory and take advantage of the benefits
of huge pages without requiring the specific allocation of an appropriate
number of huge pages.
TEST=Boot and see that in /proc/`pidof cloud-hypervisor`/smaps that the
region is now THPeligible (and that also pages are being used.)

We can't use MAP_ANONYMOUS and still have huge pages so MAP_SHARED is
effectively required when using huge pages.
Unfortunately it is not as simple as always forcing MAP_SHARED if
hugepages is on as this might be inappropriate in the backing file case
hence why there is additional complexity of assigning to mmap_flags on
each case and the MAP_SHARED is only turned on for the anonymous file
huge page case as well as anonymous shared file case.

If we do not need an anonymous file backing the memory then do not
create one.
As a side effect this addresses an issue with CoW (mmap with MAP_PRIVATE
but no MAP_ANONYMOUS) when the memory is pinned for VFIO.

This is preliminary work to ensure a migrated VM is created right before
it is restored. This will be useful when moving to a design where the VM
is both created and restored simultaneously from the Snapshot.
In details, that means the MemoryManager is the object that must be
created upon receiving the config from the source VM, so that memory
content can be later received and filled into the GuestMemory.
Only after these steps happened, the snapshot is received from the
source VM, and the actual Vm object can be created from both the
snapshot and the MemoryManager previously created.

There's no need to delegate the resize operation to the virtio-mem
thread. This can come directly from the vmm thread which will use the
Mem object to update the VIRTIO configuration and trigger the interrupt
for the guest to be notified.
In order to achieve what's described above, the VirtioMemZone structure
now has a handle onto the Mem object directly. This avoids the need for
intermediate Resize and ResizeSender structures.

If using the ACPI based hotplug only memory can be added so if the
hotplug RAM size is the same as the boot RAM size then do not include
the memory manager DSDT entries.
Also: this change simplifies the code marginally by making the
HotplugMethod enum Copyable.

The introduction of a error if live resizing is not possible is a
regression compared to the original behaviour where the new size would
be stored in the config and reflected in the next boot. This behaviour
was also inconsistent with the effect of resizing with no VM booted.
Instead of generating an error allow the code to go ahead and update the
config so that the new size will be available upon the reboot.

The argument `prefault` is provided in MemoryManager, but it can

With prefault (MAP_POPULATE) been set, subsequent page faults will
decrease during running, although it will make boot slower.
This commit adds `prefault` in MemoryConfig and MemoryZoneConfig.
To resolve conflict between memory and restore, argument
`prefault` has been changed from `bool` to `Option<bool>`, when
its value is None, config from memory will be used, otherwise
argument in Option will be used.

By using a single file for storing the memory ranges, we simplify the
way snapshot/restore works by avoiding multiples files, but the main and
more important point is that we have now a way to save only the ranges
that matter. In particular, the ranges related to virtio-mem regions are
not always fully hotplugged, meaning we don't want to save the entire
region. That's where the usage of memory ranges is interesting as it
lets us optimize the snapshot/restore process when one or multiple
virtio-mem regions are involved.
