Add a function to query whether a memory region is mmap(MAP_SHARED).
This will be used to check that vhost-user memory regions can be shared
with the device backend process in the next patch.
An inline function in "exec/memory.h" would have been nice but RAMBlock
fields are only accessible from memory.c (see "exec/ramblock.h").

memory_access_is_direct is a bit special, it treats ram-device differently from rom-device since commit 4a2e242bbb306 ("memory: Don't use memcpy for ram_device regions").
I don't think it's an issue for now, but I wonder if in the future we will share ram-device as well.
Where did you get the idea to use that function? I suppose that's also the one we use somewhere else in the code path sharing the VM memory.
