Add a function to query whether a memory region is mmap(MAP_SHARED).
This will be used to check that vhost-user memory regions can be shared
with the device backend process in the next patch.
An inline function in "exec/memory.h" would have been nice but RAMBlock
fields are only accessible from memory.c (see "exec/ramblock.h").
