[PATCH v2] qapi: clarify that the default is backend dependent

[PATCH v2] qapi: clarify that the default is backend dependent

[Stefano Garzarella]

The default value of the @share option of the @MemoryBackendProperties
really depends on the backend type, so let's document the default
values in the same place where we define the option to avoid
dispersing the information.
