If a socket is closed it remains in TIME_WAIT state for some time. On operating
systems using BSD sockets the endpoint of the socket may not be reused while in
this state unless SO_REUSEADDR was set on the socket. On windows on the other
hand the default behaviour is to allow reuse (i.e. identical to SO_REUSEADDR on
other operating systems) and setting SO_REUSEADDR on a socket allows it to be
bound to a endpoint even if the endpoint is already used by another socket
independently of the other sockets state. This can even result in undefined
behaviour.
Many sockets used by QEMU should not block the use of their endpoint after being
closed while they are still in TIME_WAIT state. Currently QEMU sets SO_REUSEADDR
for such sockets, which can lead to problems on Windows. This patch introduces
the function socket_set_fast_reuse that should be used instead of setting
SO_REUSEADDR when fast socket reuse is desired and behaves correctly on all
operating systems.
As a failure of this function can only be caused by bad QEMU internal errors, an
assertion handles these situations. The return value is still passed on, to
minimize changes in client code and prevent unused variable warnings if NDEBUG
is defined.

We abort() on memory allocation failure. abort() is appropriate for
programming errors. Maybe most memory allocation failures are
programming errors, maybe not. But guest memory allocation failure
isn't, and aborting when the user asks for more memory than we can
provide is not nice. exit(1) instead, and do it in just one place, so
the error message is consistent.

We switched from qemu_memalign to mmap() but then we don't modify
qemu_vfree() to do a munmap() over free(). Which we cannot do
because qemu_vfree() frees memory allocated by qemu_{mem,block}align.
Introduce a new function that does the munmap(), luckily the size is
available in the RAMBlock.

Using qemu_memalign only leaves the RAM zero by chance, because libc
will usually use mmap to satisfy our huge requests. But memory will
not be zero when using MALLOC_PERTURB_ with a nonzero value. In the
case of incoming migration, this breaks a recently-introduced
invariant (commit f1c7279, migration: do not sent zero pages in
bulk stage, 2013-03-26).
To fix this, use mmap ourselves to get a well-aligned, always zero
block for the RAM. Mmap-ed memory is easy to "trim" at the sides.
This also removes the need to do something special on valgrind
(see commit c2a8238a, Support running QEMU on Valgrind, 2011-10-31),
thus effectively reverts that patch.
