[PATCH v6 04/79] machine: introduce convenience MachineState::ram

[Igor Mammedov <imammedo@redhat.com>]

the new field will be used by boards to get access to main
RAM memory region and will help to save boiler plate in
boards which often introduce a field or variable just for
this purpose.

Memory region will be equivalent to what currently used
memory_region_allocate_system_memory() is returning apart
from that it will come from hostmem backend.
Followup patches will incrementally switch boards to using
RAM from MachineState::ram.

Patch takes care of non-NUMA case and follow up patch will
initialize MachineState::ram for NUMA case.
