Add API to allocate "resizeable" RAM.
This looks just like regular RAM generally, but
has a special property that only a portion of it
(used_length) is actually used, and migrated.
This used_length size can change across reboots.
Follow up patches will change used_length for such blocks at migration,
making it easier to extend devices using such RAM (notably ACPI,
but in the future thinkably other ROMs) without breaking migration
compatibility or wasting ROM (guest) memory.
Device is notified on resize, so it can adjust if necessary.
qemu_ram_alloc_resizeable allocates this memory, qemu_ram_resize resizes
it.
Note: nothing prevents making all RAM resizeable in this way.
However, reviewers felt that only enabling this selectively will
make some class of errors easier to detect.
