Commit bc38feddeb ("io: fsync before closing a file channel") added a
fsync/fdatasync at the closing point of the QIOChannelFile to ensure
integrity of the migration stream in case of QEMU crash.
The decision to do the sync at qio_channel_close() was not the best
since that function runs in the main thread and the fsync can cause
QEMU to hang for several minutes, depending on the migration size and
disk speed.
To fix the hang, remove the fsync from qio_channel_file_close().
At this moment, the migration code is the only user of the fsync and
we're taking the tradeoff of not having a sync at all, leaving the
responsibility to the upper layers.

When adding the support for file migration with the file: transport,
we missed adding documentation for it.

Some SuperI/O devices such as the VIA south bridges or the PC87312 controller
allow to enable or disable their SuperI/O functions. Add a convenience function
for implementing this in the VIA south bridges.
The naming of the functions is inspired by its memory_region_set_enabled()
pendant.

Some SuperI/O devices such as the VIA south bridges or the PC87312 controller
are able to relocate their SuperI/O functions. Add a convenience function for
implementing this in the VIA south bridges.
This convenience function relies on previous simplifications in exec/ioport
which avoids some duplicate synchronization of I/O port base addresses. The
naming of the function is inspired by its memory_region_set_address() pendant.

Split postcopy into a separate file. Introduce a head page "features.rst"
to keep all the features on top of migration framework.

Create an index page for migration module. Move VFIO migration there too.
A trivial touch-up on the title to use lower case there.
Since then we'll have "migration" as the top title, make the main doc file
renamed to "migration framework".

Migration documentation is growing into a single file too large. Create a
sub-directory for it for a split.
We also already have separate vfio/virtio documentations, move it all over
into the directory.
Note that the virtio one is still not yet converted to rST. That is a job
for later.
