Firstly, the "Paused" state was added in the wrong place before. The state
machine section was describing PostcopyState, rather than MigrationStatus.
Drop the Paused state descriptions.
Then in the postcopy recover session, add more information on the state
machine for MigrationStatus in the lines. Add the new RECOVER_SETUP phase.

With the last few changes to the fdset infrastructure, we now allow
multifd to use an fdset when migrating to a file. This is useful for
the scenario where the management layer wants to have control over the
migration file.
By receiving the file descriptors directly, QEMU can delegate some
high level operating system operations to the management layer (such
as mandatory access control). The management layer might also want to
add its own headers before the migration stream.
Document the "file:/dev/fdset/#" syntax for the multifd migration with
mapped-ram. The requirements for the fdset mechanism are:
- the fdset must contain two fds that are not duplicates between
themselves;
- if direct-io is to be used, exactly one of the fds must have the
O_DIRECT flag set;
- the file must be opened with WRONLY on the migration source side;
- the file must be opened with RDONLY on the migration destination
side.

The block migration has been considered obsolete since QEMU 8.2 in
favor of the more flexible storage migration provided by the
blockdev-mirror driver. Two releases have passed so now it's time to
remove it.

Commit bc38feddeb ("io: fsync before closing a file channel") added a
fsync/fdatasync at the closing point of the QIOChannelFile to ensure
integrity of the migration stream in case of QEMU crash.
The decision to do the sync at qio_channel_close() was not the best
since that function runs in the main thread and the fsync can cause
QEMU to hang for several minutes, depending on the migration size and
disk speed.
To fix the hang, remove the fsync from qio_channel_file_close().
At this moment, the migration code is the only user of the fsync and
we're taking the tradeoff of not having a sync at all, leaving the
responsibility to the upper layers.

Add a new migration capability 'mapped-ram'.
The core of the feature is to ensure that RAM pages are mapped
directly to offsets in the resulting migration file instead of being
streamed at arbitrary points.
The reasons why we'd want such behavior are:
- The resulting file will have a bounded size, since pages which are
dirtied multiple times will always go to a fixed location in the
file, rather than constantly being added to a sequential
stream. This eliminates cases where a VM with, say, 1G of RAM can
result in a migration file that's 10s of GBs, provided that the
workload constantly redirties memory.
- It paves the way to implement O_DIRECT-enabled save/restore of the
migration stream as the pages are ensured to be written at aligned
offsets.
- It allows the usage of multifd so we can write RAM pages to the
migration file in parallel.
For now, enabling the capability has no effect. The next couple of
patches implement the core functionality.

Some SuperI/O devices such as the VIA south bridges or the PC87312 controller
allow to enable or disable their SuperI/O functions. Add a convenience function
for implementing this in the VIA south bridges.
The naming of the functions is inspired by its memory_region_set_enabled()
pendant.

Some SuperI/O devices such as the VIA south bridges or the PC87312 controller
are able to relocate their SuperI/O functions. Add a convenience function for
implementing this in the VIA south bridges.
This convenience function relies on previous simplifications in exec/ioport
which avoids some duplicate synchronization of I/O port base addresses. The
naming of the function is inspired by its memory_region_set_address() pendant.

Migration documentation is growing into a single file too large. Create a
sub-directory for it for a split.
We also already have separate vfio/virtio documentations, move it all over

Note that the virtio one is still not yet converted to rST. That is a job
for later.
