memory: Helpers to copy/free a MemoryRegionSection
In case one wants to create a permanent copy of a MemoryRegionSections, one needs access to flatview_ref()/flatview_unref(). Instead of exposing these, let's just add helpers to copy/free a MemoryRegionSection and properly adjust references. Cc: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Cc: "Michael S.
