Add PRE_COPY support for live migration.
This functionality may reduce the downtime upon STOP_COPY as of letting
the target machine to get some 'initial data' from the source once the
machine is still in its RUNNING state and let it prepares itself
pre-ahead to get the final STOP_COPY data.
As the Virtio specification does not support reading partial or
incremental device contexts. This means that during the PRE_COPY state,
the vfio-virtio driver reads the full device state.
As the device state can be changed and the benefit is highest when the
pre copy data closely matches the final data we read it in a rate
limiter mode and reporting no data available for some time interval
after the previous call.
With PRE_COPY enabled, we observed a downtime reduction of approximately
70-75% in various scenarios compared to when PRE_COPY was disabled,
while keeping the total migration time nearly the same.
