multi-process: define MPQemuMsg format and transmission functions

Defines MPQemuMsg, which is the message that is sent to the remote
process. This message is sent over QIOChannel and is used to
command the remote process to perform various tasks.
Define transmission functions used by proxy and by remote.

[Replace struct iovec send[2] = {0} with {} to make clang happy as
suggested by Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>.
