[PULL 06/30] migration: Introduce dirty-limit capability

[Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com>]

From: Hyman Huang(黄勇) <yong.huang@smartx.com>

Introduce migration dirty-limit capability, which can
be turned on before live migration and limit dirty
page rate durty live migration.

Introduce migrate_dirty_limit function to help check
if dirty-limit capability enabled during live migration.

Meanwhile, refactor vcpu_dirty_rate_stat_collect
so that period can be configured instead of hardcoded.

dirty-limit capability is kind of like auto-converge
but using dirty limit instead of traditional cpu-throttle
to throttle guest down. To enable this feature, turn on
the dirty-limit capability before live migration using
migrate-set-capabilities, and set the parameters
"x-vcpu-dirty-limit-period", "vcpu-dirty-limit" suitably
to speed up convergence.
