Add the direct-io migration parameter that tells the migration code to
use O_DIRECT when opening the migration stream file whenever possible.
This is currently only used with fixed-ram migration for the multifd
channels that transfer the RAM pages. Those channels only transfer the
pages and are guaranteed to perform aligned writes.
However the parameter could be made to affect other types of
file-based migrations in the future.

- json formatting
- added checks for O_DIRECT support
