Currently we have both multi-thread compression and multifd to optimize
live migration in Qemu. Mulit-thread compression deals with the situation
where network bandwith is limited but cpu resource adequate. Multifd instead
aims to take full advantage of network bandwith. Moreover it supports both
zlib and zstd compression on each channel.

In this patch series, we did some code refactoring on multi-thread compression
live migration and bring zstd compression method support for it.

Below is the test result of multi-thread compression live migration
with different compress methods. Test result shows that zstd outperforms
zlib by about 70%.

 Migration Configuration:
 Guest 8U 32G
 compress-threads   8
 decompress-threads 2
 compress-level 1
 bandwidth-limit 100Mbps

 Test Result:
 +---------------------+--------------+-------------+
