Yeah, no zero-copy when you need to transform the data in any way. I
think QEMU provides a reasonable error message already. But since it
mentions "multifd" while our flag is called "parallel", I decided to
explicitly handle this case:

    internal error: unable to execute QEMU command
    'migrate-set-capabilities': Zero copy only available for
    non-compressed non-TLS multifd migration

Do you think I should explicitly check all flags instead?

The question is whether we need to do the same or if we can have a
single zero copy which would enable the right one depending on the side
of migration...
