This puts the send-migration action into a dedicated thread, laying the
groundwork for many follow-ups towards first-class live-migration in
CH.
This means:
1. The send-migration call will exit sooner (just trigger the
migration - dispatch semantics)
2. Other API calls can be triggered while a migration is ongoing but
will not be able to alter the VM as the VM's ownership is transferred
from the VMM to the migration thread. Example: hotplugging won't work
(which is good).
3. This is the basis for migration statistics via a dedicated endpoint
(future work).
The whole change was done with a special focus on graceful recover and
cleanup: even if anything on the migration paths go wrong, the proper
cleanups are already executed and the VMM can take back the ownership
of the VM.
The receive-migration API call remains blocking. To observe any status
changes about the migration on the sender side, one can observe the
event-monitor output and look for `vm.migration-{failed,finished}`.
These changes are inspired by [0] but differ significantly in details.
