hostmem-file: add offset option

Browse source 
Add an option for hostmem-file to start the memory object at an offset
into the target file. This is useful if multiple memory objects reside
inside the same target file, such as a device node.

In particular, it's useful to map guest memory directly into /dev/mem
for experimentation.

To make this work consistently, also fix up all places in QEMU that
expect fd offsets to be 0.
