Reintroduce migrate-to-exec: support

KVM's live migration support included support for exec: URLs, allowing 
system state to be written or received via an arbitrary popen()ed 
subprocess. This provides a convenient way to pipe state through a 
compression algorithm or an arbitrary network transport on its way to 
its destination, and a convenient way to write state to disk; libvirt's 
qemu driver currently uses migration to exec: targets for this latter 
purpose.

This version of the patch refactors now-common code from migrate-tcp.c 
into migrate.c.
