vfio/migration: Max in-flight VFIO device state buffers size limit

Allow capping the maximum total size of in-flight VFIO device state buffers
queued at the destination, otherwise a malicious QEMU source could
theoretically cause the target QEMU to allocate unlimited amounts of memory
for buffers-in-flight.

Since this is not expected to be a realistic threat in most of VFIO live
migration use cases and the right value depends on the particular setup
disable this limit by default by setting it to UINT64_MAX.

+Since the target QEMU needs to load device state buffers in-order it needs to
+queue incoming buffers until they can be loaded into the device.
+This means that a malicious QEMU source could theoretically cause the target
+QEMU to allocate unlimited amounts of memory for such buffers-in-flight.

+depends on the particular setup by default this queued buffers size limit is
+disabled by setting it to UINT64_MAX.

 Some host platforms (like ARM64) require that VFIO device config is loaded only
 after all iterables were loaded, during non-iterables loading phase.
 Such interlocking is controlled by "x-migration-load-config-after-iter" VFIO
