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.
