Marc-André Lureau f04cf9239a util: add linux-only memfd fallback
Implement memfd_create() fallback if not available in system libc.
memfd_create() is still not included in glibc today, atlhough it's been
available since Linux 3.17 in Oct 2014.

memfd has numerous advantages over traditional shm/mmap for ipc memory
sharing with fd handler, which we are going to make use of for
vhost-user logging memory in following patches.

The next patches are going to introduce helpers to use best practices of
memfd usage and provide some compatibility fallback. memfd.c is thus
temporarily useless and eventually empty if memfd_create() is provided
by the system.
