Now we deal with normal size pages and huge pages we need
to tell the place handlers the size we're dealing with
and make sure the temporary page is large enough.

Create ram_block_discard_range in exec.c to replace
postcopy_ram_discard_range and most of ram_discard_range.
Those two routines are a bit of a weird combination, and
ram_discard_range is about to get more complex for hugepages.
It's OS dependent code (so shouldn't be in migration/ram.c) but
it needs quite a bit of the innards of RAMBlock so doesn't belong in
the os*.c.

Prior to servicing userfault requests we must ensure we've not got
huge pages in the area that might include non-transferred memory,
since a hugepage could incorrectly mark the whole huge page as present.
We mark the area as non-huge page (nhp) just before we perform
discards; the discard code now tells us to discard any areas
that haven't been sent (as well as any that are redirtied);
any already formed transparent-huge-pages get fragmented
by this discard process if they cotnain any discards.
Transparent huge pages that have been entirely transferred
and don't contain any discards are not broken by this mechanism;
they stay as huge pages.
By starting postcopy after a full precopy pass, many of the pages
then stay as huge pages; this is important for maintaining performance
after the end of the migration.

Soon we'll be in either ACTIVE or POSTCOPY_ACTIVE when we
complete migration, and we need to know which we expect to be
in to change state safely.

needed for postcopy.
