exec: ram_block_discard_range

Create ram_block_discard_range in exec.c to replace
postcopy_ram_discard_range and most of ram_discard_range.

Those two routines are a bit of a weird combination, and
ram_discard_range is about to get more complex for hugepages.
It's OS dependent code (so shouldn't be in migration/ram.c) but
it needs quite a bit of the innards of RAMBlock so doesn't belong in
the os*.c.
