Avihai Horon 5fcadd7d14 vfio/migration: Implement VFIO_PRECOPY_INFO_REINIT feature
According to VFIO uAPI, precopy initial_bytes is considered as critical
data that should be transferred and loaded prior to moving to STOP_COPY
state to ensure precopy phase would be effective.

As currently defined, initial_bytes can only decrease as it's being read
from the data fd. However, there are cases where a new chunk of
initial_bytes should be transferred during precopy.

The new VFIO_PRECOPY_INFO_REINIT feature addresses this and allows
reporting a new value for initial_bytes regardless of any previously
reported values.

Implement VFIO_PRECOPY_INFO_REINIT feature:
1. Opt-in for VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_MIG_PRECOPY_INFOv2 to make
   VFIO_PRECOPY_INFO_REINIT available.
2. Request a new switchover ACK if initial_bytes increases post of a
   previous switchover ACK. This ensures the device is not moved to
   STOP_COPY before initial_bytes has reached zero again.
