add memdev backend infrastructure

Provides framework for splitting host RAM allocation/
policies into a separate backend that could be used
by devices.

Initially only legacy RAM backend is provided, which
uses memory_region_init_ram() allocator and compatible
with every CLI option that affects memory_region_init_ram().
