[PATCH RFC 01/26] migration: Add x-channel-header pseudo-capability

[Maciej S. Szmigiero]

From: Avihai Horon <avihaih@nvidia.com>

Add x-channel-header pseudo-capability which indicates that a header
should be sent through migration channels.

The header is the first thing to be sent through a migration channel and
it allows the destination to differentiate between the various channels
(main, multifd and preempt).

This eliminates the need to deduce the channel type by peeking in the
channel's content, which can be done only on a best-effort basis. It
will also allow other devices to create their own channels in the
future.

This patch only adds the pseudo-capability and sets it to false always.
The following patches will add the actual functionality, after which it
will be enabled..
