xbzrle: optimize XBZRLE to decrease the cache misses

Browse source 
Avoid hot pages being replaced by others to remarkably decrease cache
misses

Sample results with the test program which quote from xbzrle.txt ran in
vm:(migrate bandwidth:1GE and xbzrle cache size 8MB)

the test program:

include <stdlib.h>
include <stdio.h>
int main()
 {
        char *buf = (char *) calloc(4096, 4096);
        while (1) {
            int i;
            for (i = 0; i < 4096 * 4; i++) {
                buf[i * 4096 / 4]++;
            }
            printf(".");
        }
 }

before this patch:
virsh qemu-monitor-command test_vm '{"execute": "query-migrate"}'
{"return":{"expected-downtime":1020,"xbzrle-cache":{"bytes":1108284,
"cache-size":8388608,"cache-miss-rate":0.987013,"pages":18297,"overflow":8,

"dirty-pages-rate":29130,"skipped":0,"normal-bytes":5748592640,
"normal":1403465}},"id":"libvirt-706"}

18k pages sent compressed in 52 seconds.
cache-miss-rate is 98.7%, totally miss.

after optimizing:
virsh qemu-monitor-command test_vm '{"execute": "query-migrate"}'
{"return":{"expected-downtime":2054,"xbzrle-cache":{"bytes":5066763,
"cache-size":8388608,"cache-miss-rate":0.485924,"pages":194823,"overflow":0,

"dirty-pages-rate":58781,"skipped":0,"normal-bytes":1588404224,
"normal":387794}},"id":"libvirt-266"}

194k pages sent compressed in 18 seconds.
The value of cache-miss-rate decrease to 48.59%.
