v5:
- add r-b for Juan on patch 4,5,7-10
- patch 2: introduce register_compat_props_array() that may be further
  used by machine codes [Eduardo]
- patch 2: fix english error [Eduardo]

v4:
- dropped lots of patches related to AccelState.global_props. Now I am
  using AccelClass.global_props, and only use it in Xen codes.
- one patch is added to clean up the global property registerations,
  with some comment to show the ordering.
- one patch is added to dump migration globals in "info migrate"
  unconditionally (last patch).
- changed all the following xen_init() patches to use
  AccelClass.global_props.
- (since most of the patches are either touched-up again, or threw
  away, so no much r-b added, only one for Juan on the only_migratable
  patch, anyway, thanks for reviewing the old codes!)

------------

The main goal of this series is to let MigrationState be a QDev.

It helps in many use cases.

First of all, we can remove many legacy tricky functions. To name
some: savevm_skip_section_footers(), savevm_skip_configuration(), etc.
They didn't do much thing but setup a bool value. If MigrationState
can be a QDev, then these things can be setup by the HW_COMPAT_* magic
with some lines like:

{
    .driver   = "migration",
    .property = "send-configuration",
    .value    = "off",
}

Next, if this can be merged and okay, we can move on to convert more
things into properties for migration. A very attractive use case of it
is, we will be able to do this for migration:

  -global migration.postcopy=on

Then we don't need to use either HMP/QMP interface to enable it. It
greatly simplifies the migration test scripts.

Why QDev not QObject? The answer is simple: all the magic that we want
for migration is bound to QDev (HW_COMPAT, "-global"). If one day we
want to move these features from QDev to QObject, that'll be fine and
easy for MigrationState. But before that, let's have MigrationState a
QDev. :-)

Please kindly review. Thanks.
