exec/memory: Introduce RAM_NAMED_FILE flag
migrate_ignore_shared() is an optimization that avoids copying memory
that is visible and can be mapped on the target.  However, a
memory-backend-ram or a memory-backend-memfd block with the RAM_SHARED
flag set is not migrated when migrate_ignore_shared() is true.  This is
wrong, because the block has no named backing store, and its contents will
be lost.  To fix, ignore shared memory iff it is a named file.  Define a
new flag RAM_NAMED_FILE to distinguish this case.
