v2 update:
* Implement zero-page-detection switch with enumeration "legacy",
"none" and "multifd".
* Move normal/zero pages from MultiFDSendParams to MultiFDPages_t.
* Add zeros and zero_bytes accounting.

This patchset is based on Juan Quintela's old series here
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220802063907.18882-1-quintela@redhat.com/

In the multifd live migration model, there is a single migration main
thread scanning the page map, queuing the pages to multiple multifd
sender threads. The migration main thread runs zero page checking on
every page before queuing the page to the sender threads. Zero page
checking is a CPU intensive task and hence having a single thread doing
all that doesn't scale well. This change introduces a new function
to run the zero page checking on the multifd sender threads. This
patchset also lays the ground work for future changes to offload zero
page checking task to accelerator hardwares.

Use two Intel 4th generation Xeon servers for testing.

Perform multifd live migration with below setup:
1. VM has 100GB memory. All pages in the VM are zero pages.
2. Use tcp socket for live migration.
3. Use 4 multifd channels and zero page checking on migration main thread.
4. Use 1/2/4 multifd channels and zero page checking on multifd sender
threads.
5. Record migration total time from sender QEMU console's "info migrate"
command.
