Current code uses compress2() to compress memory which manages memory
internally, that causes huge memory is allocated and freed very
frequently
More worse, frequently returning memory to kernel will flush TLBs
and trigger invalidation callbacks on mmu-notification which
interacts with KVM MMU, that dramatically reduce the performance
of VM
So, we maintain the memory by ourselves and reuse it for each
compression

Add function opposite to qemu_get_counted_string.
qemu_put_counted_string puts one-byte length of the string (string
should not be longer than 255 characters), and then it puts the string,
without last zero byte.

Split the file into public and internal interfaces. I have to rename
the external one because we can't have two include files with the same
name in the same directory. Build system gets confused. The only
exported functions are the ones that handle basic types.
