This patch implements migrate_ram mutex, which protects the RAMBlock list
traversal in the migration thread during the transfer of a ram from their
addition/removal from the iothread.
Note: Combination of iothread mutex and migration thread mutex works as a
rw-lock. Both mutexes are acquired while modifying the ram_list members or RAM
block list.

Is there a reason why RAMList.version is uint32_t but last_version is uint64_t?
