memory: move mem_path handling to memory_region_allocate_system_memory
Like the previous patch did in exec.c, split memory_region_init_ram and memory_region_init_ram_from_file, and push mem_path one step further up. Other RAM regions than system memory will now be backed by regular RAM. Also, boards that do not use memory_region_allocate_system_memory will not support -mem-path anymore. This can be changed before the patches are merged by migrating boards to use the function.
