physmem: fd-based shared memory
Create MAP_SHARED RAMBlocks by mmap'ing a file descriptor rather than using MAP_ANON, so the memory can be accessed in another process by passing and mmap'ing the fd. This will allow CPR to support memory-backend-ram and memory-backend-shm objects, provided the user creates them with share=on. Use memfd_create if available because it has no constraints. If not, use POSIX shm_open. However, allocation on the opened fd may fail if the shm mount size is too small, even if the system has free memory, so for backwards compatibility fall back to qemu_anon_ram_alloc/MAP_ANON on failure. For backwards compatibility on Windows, always use MAP_ANON. share=on has no purpose there, but the syntax is accepted, and must continue to work. Lastly, quietly fall back to MAP_ANON if the system does not support qemu_ram_alloc_from_fd.
