[PATCH v5 1/9] migration: introduced 'MigrateAddress' in QAPI for migration wire protocol.

[Het Gala]

This patch introduces well defined MigrateAddress struct and its related child
objects.

The existing argument of 'migrate' and 'migrate-incoming' QAPI - 'uri' is of
string type. The current migration flow follows double encoding scheme for
fetching migration parameters such as 'uri' and this is not an ideal design.

Motive for intoducing struct level design is to prevent double encoding of QAPI
arguments, as Qemu should be able to directly use the QAPI arguments without
any level of encoding.
