physmem: Support coordinated discarding of RAM with guest_memfd

A new field, attributes, was introduced in RAMBlock to link to a
RamBlockAttributes object, which centralizes all guest_memfd related
information (such as fd and status bitmap) within a RAMBlock.

Create and initialize the RamBlockAttributes object upon ram_block_add().
Meanwhile, register the object in the target RAMBlock's MemoryRegion.
After that, guest_memfd-backed RAMBlock is associated with the
RamDiscardManager interface, and the users can execute RamDiscardManager
specific handling. For example, VFIO will register the
RamDiscardListener and get notifications when the state_change() helper
invokes.

As coordinate discarding of RAM with guest_memfd is now supported, only
block uncoordinated discard.
