migration: Add documentation for fdset with multifd + file
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.

migration/multifd: Don't fsync when closing QIOChannelFile
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.

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.

exec/ioport: Add portio_list_set_address()
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.
