migration: cpr_get_fd_param helper
Add the helper function cpr_get_fd_param, to use when preserving a file descriptor that is opened externally and passed to QEMU. cpr_get_fd_param returns a descriptor number either from a QEMU command-line parameter, from a getfd command, or from CPR state. When a descriptor is passed to new QEMU via SCM_RIGHTS, its number changes. Hence, during CPR, the command-line parameter is ignored in new QEMU, and over-ridden by the value found in CPR state. Similarly, if the descriptor was originally specified by a getfd command in old QEMU, the fd number is not known outside of QEMU, and it changes when sent to new QEMU via SCM_RIGHTS. Hence the user cannot send getfd to new QEMU, but when the user sends a hotplug command that references the fd, cpr_get_fd_param finds its value in CPR state.
