vfio: Disable only uncoordinated discards for VFIO_TYPE1 iommus

We support coordinated discarding of RAM using the RamDiscardManager for
the VFIO_TYPE1 iommus. Let's unlock support for coordinated discards,
keeping uncoordinated discards (e.g., via virtio-balloon) disabled if
possible.

This unlocks virtio-mem + vfio on x86-64. Note that vfio used via "nvme://"
by the block layer has to be implemented/unlocked separately. For now,
virtio-mem only supports x86-64; we don't restrict RamDiscardManager to
x86-64, though: arm64 and s390x are supposed to work as well, and we'll
test once unlocking virtio-mem support. The spapr IOMMUs will need special
care, to be tackled later, e.g.., once supporting virtio-mem.

Note: The block size of a virtio-mem device has to be set to sane sizes,
depending on the maximum hotplug size - to not run out of vfio mappings.
The default virtio-mem block size is usually in the range of a couple of
MBs. The maximum number of mapping is 64k, shared with other users.
Assume you want to hotplug 256GB using virtio-mem - the block size would
have to be set to at least 8 MiB (resulting in 32768 separate mappings).
