Following up on my previous work to make virtio-mem consume multiple
memslots dynamically [1] that requires precise accounting between used vs.
reserved memslots, I realized that vhost makes this extra hard by
filtering out some memory region sections (so they don't consume a
memslot) in the vhost-user case, which messes up the whole memslot
accounting.
This series fixes what I found to be broken and prepares for more work on
[1]. Further, it cleanes up the merge checks that I consider unnecessary.

v3 -> v4:
- Add RBs
- "vhost: Rework memslot filtering and fix "used_memslot" tracking"
-- Fix check for free memslots (> 1 vs > 0)
v2 -> v3:
- Add ACKs
- "softmmu/physmem: Fixup qemu_ram_block_from_host() documentation"
-- Fix typo in description
v1 -> v2:
- "vhost: Rework memslot filtering and fix "used_memslot" tracking"
-- New approach: keep filtering, but make filtering less generic and
track separately. This should keep any existing setups working.

Having multiple vhost devices, some filtering out fd-less memslots and
some not, can mess up the "used_memslot" accounting. Consequently our
"free memslot" checks become unreliable and we might run out of free
memslots at runtime later.
An example sequence which can trigger a potential issue that involves
different vhost backends (vhost-kernel and vhost-user) and hotplugged
memory devices can be found at [1].
Let's make the filtering mechanism less generic and distinguish between
backends that support private memslots (without a fd) and ones that only
support shared memslots (with a fd). Track the used_memslots for both
cases separately and use the corresponding value when required.
Note: Most probably we should filter out MAP_PRIVATE fd-based RAM regions
(for example, via memory-backend-memfd,...,shared=off or as default with
memory-backend-file) as well. When not using MAP_SHARED, it might not work
as expected. Add a TODO for now.

Checking whether the memory regions are equal is sufficient: if they are
equal, then most certainly the contained fd is equal.
The whole vhost-user memslot handling is suboptimal and overly
complicated. We shouldn't have to lookup a RAM memory regions we got
notified about in vhost_user_get_mr_data() using a host pointer. But that
requires a bigger rework -- especially an alternative vhost_set_mem_table()
backend call that simply consumes MemoryRegionSections.
For now, let's just drop vhost_backend_can_merge().

Let's fixup the documentation (e.g., removing traces of the ram_addr
parameter that no longer exists) and move it to the header file while at
it.
