migration/multifd: Add direct-io support

When multifd is used along with mapped-ram, we can take benefit of a
filesystem that supports the O_DIRECT flag and perform direct I/O in
the multifd threads. This brings a significant performance improvement
because direct-io writes bypass the page cache which would otherwise
be thrashed by the multifd data which is unlikely to be needed again
in a short period of time.

To be able to use a multifd channel opened with O_DIRECT, we must
ensure that a certain aligment is used. Filesystems usually require a
block-size alignment for direct I/O. The way to achieve this is by
enabling the mapped-ram feature, which already aligns its I/O properly
(see MAPPED_RAM_FILE_OFFSET_ALIGNMENT at ram.c).

By setting O_DIRECT on the multifd channels, all writes to the same
file descriptor need to be aligned as well, even the ones that come
from outside multifd, such as the QEMUFile I/O from the main migration
code. This makes it impossible to use the same file descriptor for the
QEMUFile and for the multifd channels. The various flags and metadata
written by the main migration code will always be unaligned by virtue
of their small size. To workaround this issue, we'll require a second
file descriptor to be used exclusively for direct I/O.

The second file descriptor can be obtained by QEMU by re-opening the
migration file (already possible), or by being provided by the user or
management application (support to be added in future patches).
