s390x/s390-stattrib-kvm: prepare for memory devices and sparse memory layouts

With memory devices, we will have storage attributes for memory that
exceeds the initial ram size. Further, we can easily have memory holes,
for which there (currently) are no storage attributes.

In particular, with memory holes, KVM_S390_SET_CMMA_BITS will fail to set
some storage attributes.

So let's do it like we handle storage keys migration, relying on
guest_phys_blocks_append(). However, in contrast to storage key
migration, we will handle it on the migration destination.

This is a preparation for virtio-mem support. Note that ever since the
"early migration" feature was added (x-early-migration), the state
of device blocks (plugged/unplugged) is migrated early such that
guest_phys_blocks_append() will properly consider all currently plugged
memory blocks and skip any unplugged ones.

In the future, we should try getting rid of the large temporary buffer
and also not send any attributes for any memory holes, just so they
get ignored on the destination.
