32c3db5b26 postcopy: Remove the x-
Postcopy seems to have survived a cycle with only a few fixes,
and Jiri has the current libvirt wired up and working
( https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-March/msg00080.html )
so remove the experimental tag.

5cd8cadae8 migration: Use normal VMStateDescriptions for Subsections
We create optional sections with this patch.  But we already have
optional subsections.  Instead of having two mechanism that do the
same, we can just generalize it.

For subsections we just change:

- Add a needed function to VMStateDescription
- Remove VMStateSubsection (after removal of the needed function
  it is just a VMStateDescription)
- Adjust the whole tree, moving the needed function to the corresponding
  VMStateDescription

35d08458a9 savevm: Remove all the unneeded version_minimum_id_old (rest)
After previous Peter patch, they are redundant.  This way we don't
assign them except when needed.  Once there, there were lots of case
where the ".fields" indentation was wrong:

     .fields = (VMStateField []) {
and
     .fields =      (VMStateField []) {

Change all the combinations to:

     .fields = (VMStateField[]){

The biggest problem (appart from aesthetics) was that checkpatch complained
when we copy&pasted the code from one place to another.

767adce2d9 savevm: Ignore minimum_version_id_old if there is no load_state_old
At the moment we require vmstate definitions to set minimum_version_id_old
to the same value as minimum_version_id if they do not provide a
load_state_old handler. Since the load_state_old functionality is
required only for a handful of devices that need to retain migration
compatibility with a pre-vmstate implementation, this means the bulk
of devices have pointless boilerplate. Relax the definition so that
minimum_version_id_old is ignored if there is no load_state_old handler.

Note that under the old scheme we would segfault if the vmstate
specified a minimum_version_id_old that was less than minimum_version_id
but did not provide a load_state_old function, and the incoming state
specified a version number between minimum_version_id_old and
minimum_version_id. Under the new scheme this will just result in
our failing the migration.

1964a39706 migration: move rate limiting to QEMUFile
Rate limiting is now simply a byte counter; client call
qemu_file_rate_limit() manually to determine if they have to exit.
So it is possible and simple to move the functionality to QEMUFile.

This makes the remaining functionality of s->file redundant;
in the next patch we can remove it and write directly to s->migration_file.
