This patch allows the postcopy preempt channel to be created
asynchronously. The benefit is that when the connection is slow, we won't
take the BQL (and potentially block all things like QMP) for a long time
without releasing.
A function postcopy_preempt_wait_channel() is introduced, allowing the
migration thread to be able to wait on the channel creation. The channel
is always created by the main thread, in which we'll kick a new semaphore
to tell the migration thread that the channel has created.
We'll need to wait for the new channel in two places: (1) when there's a
new postcopy migration that is starting, or (2) when there's a postcopy
migration to resume.
For the start of migration, we don't need to wait for this channel until
when we want to start postcopy, aka, postcopy_start(). We'll fail the
migration if we found that the channel creation failed (which should
probably not happen at all in 99% of the cases, because the main channel is
using the same network topology).
For a postcopy recovery, we'll need to wait in postcopy_pause(). In that
case if the channel creation failed, we can't fail the migration or we'll
crash the VM, instead we keep in PAUSED state, waiting for yet another
recovery.

Create a new socket for postcopy to be prepared to send postcopy requested
pages via this specific channel, so as to not get blocked by precopy pages.
A new thread is also created on dest qemu to receive data from this new channel
based on the ram_load_postcopy() routine.
The ram_load_postcopy(POSTCOPY) branch and the thread has not started to
function, and that'll be done in follow up patches.
Cleanup the new sockets on both src/dst QEMUs, meanwhile look after the new
thread too to make sure it'll be recycled properly.

dgilbert: With Peter's fix to quieten compiler warning on
start_migration
Postcopy create threads. A common manner is we init a sem and use it to sync
with the thread. Namely, we have fault_thread_sem and listen_thread_sem and
they're only used for this.
Make it a shared infrastructure so it's easier to create yet another thread.

During migration, a tmp page is allocated so that we could place a whole
host page during postcopy.
Currently the page is allocated during load stage, this is a little bit
late. And more important, if we failed to allocate it, the error is not
checked properly. Even it is NULL, we would still use it.
This patch moves the allocation to setup stage and if failed error
message would be printed and caller would notice it.

In postcopy-ram.c, we provide three functions to discard certain
RAMBlock range:
* postcopy_discard_send_init()
* postcopy_discard_send_range()
* postcopy_discard_send_finish()
Currently, we allocate/deallocate PostcopyDiscardState for each RAMBlock
on sending discard information to destination. This is not necessary and
the same data area could be reused for each RAMBlock.
This patch defines PostcopyDiscardState a static variable. By doing so:
1) avoid memory allocation and deallocation to the system
2) avoid potential failure of memory allocation
3) hide some details for their users
