[PATCH v6 06/19] migration/multifd: Make MultiFDPages_t:offset a flexible array member

[Fabiano Rosas]

We're about to use MultiFDPages_t from inside the MultiFDSendData
payload union, which means we cannot have pointers to allocated data
inside the pages structure, otherwise we'd lose the reference to that
memory once another payload type touches the union. Move the offset
array into the end of the structure and turn it into a flexible array
member, so it is allocated along with the rest of MultiFDSendData in
the next patches.

Note that other pointers, such as the ramblock pointer are still fine
as long as the storage for them is not owned by the migration code and
can be correctly released at some point.
