migration: Split save_live_pending() into state_pending_*
We split the function into to: - state_pending_estimate: We estimate the remaining state size without stopping the machine. - state pending_exact: We calculate the exact amount of remaining state. The only "device" that implements different functions for _estimate() and _exact() is ram. Signed-off-by: Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@redhat.com>
