Introduce "xen-save-devices-state"
- add an "is_ram" flag to SaveStateEntry;
- register_savevm_live sets is_ram for live_savevm devices;
- introduce a "xen-save-devices-state" QAPI command that can be used to save
the state of all devices, but not the RAM or the block devices of the
VM.
Changes in v8:
- rename save-devices-state to xen-save-devices-state.
Changes in v7:
- rename save_devices to save-devices-state.
Changes in v6:
- remove the is_ram parameter from register_savevm_live and sets is_ram
if the device is a live_savevm device;
- introduce save_devices as a QAPI command, write a better description
for it;
- fix CODING_STYLE;
- introduce a new doc to explain the save format used by save_devices.
