Maxime Coquelin cd85039e7e vhost: restrict postcopy live-migration enablement
Postcopy live-migration feature requires the application to
not populate the guest memory. As the vhost library cannot
prevent the application to that (e.g. preventing the
application to call mlockall()), the feature is disabled by
default.

The application should only enable the feature if it does not
force the guest memory to be populated.

In case the user passes the RTE_VHOST_USER_POSTCOPY_SUPPORT
flag at registration but the feature was not compiled,
registration fails.

For the same reason, postcopy and dequeue zero copy features
are not compatible, so don't advertize postcopy support if
dequeue zero copy is requested.
