Reintroduce migrate-to-exec: support (Charles Duffy)

KVM's live migration support included support for exec: URLs, allowing system
state to be written or received via an arbitrary popen()ed subprocess. This
provides a convenient way to pipe state through a compression algorithm or an
arbitrary network transport on its way to its destination, and a convenient way
to write state to disk; libvirt's qemu driver currently uses migration to exec:
targets for this latter purpose.

This version of the patch refactors now-common code from migrate-tcp.c into
migrate.c.
