migration/multifd: Allow receiving pages without packets

Currently multifd does not need to have knowledge of pages on the
receiving side because all the information needed is within the
packets that come in the stream.

We're about to add support to mapped-ram migration, which cannot use
packets because it expects the ramblock section in the migration file
to contain only the guest pages data.

Add a data structure to transfer pages between the ram migration code
and the multifd receiving threads.

We don't want to reuse MultiFDPages_t for two reasons:

a) multifd threads don't really need to know about the data they're
   receiving.

b) the receiving side has to be stopped to load the pages, which means
   we can experiment with larger granularities than page size when
   transferring data.
