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.

Badly formatted migration streams can go undetected or produce
misleading errors due to a lock of checking at the end of sections.
In particular a section that adds an extra 0x00 at the end
causes what looks like a normal end of stream and thus doesn't produce
any errors, and something that ends in a 0x01..0x04 kind of look
like real section headers and then fail when the section parser tries
to figure out which section they are. This is made worse by the
choice of 0x00..0x04 being small numbers that are particularly common
in normal section data.
This patch adds a section footer consisting of a marker (0x7e - ~)
followed by the section-id that was also sent in the header. If
they mismatch then it throws an error explaining which section was
being loaded.
