c26763f8ec memory: learn about non-volatile memory region
Add a new flag to mark memory region that are used as non-volatile, by
NVDIMM for example. That bit is propagated down to the flat view, and
reflected in HMP info mtree with a "nv-" prefix on the memory type.

This way, guest_phys_blocks_region_add() can skip the NV memory
regions for dumps and TCG memory clear in a following patch.

c2eb7f213a migration: improve documentation of postcopy-ram
This capability must have the same value on both source and destination,
otherwise migration fails (commit 875fcd013a "migration: incoming
postcopy advise sanity checks").

Let's write it down in various places where postcopy-ram is documented.
