migration/multifd: Make MultiFDSendData a struct

The newly introduced device state buffer can be used for either storing
VFIO's read() raw data, but already also possible to store generic device
states.  After noticing that device states may not easily provide a max
buffer size (also the fact that RAM MultiFDPages_t after all also want to
have flexibility on managing offset[] array), it may not be a good idea to
stick with union on MultiFDSendData.. as it won't play well with such
flexibility.

Switch MultiFDSendData to a struct.

It won't consume a lot more space in reality, after all the real buffers
were already dynamically allocated, so it's so far only about the two
structs (pages, device_state) that will be duplicated, but they're small.

With this, we can remove the pretty hard to understand alloc size logic.
Because now we can allocate offset[] together with the SendData, and
properly free it when the SendData is freed.

[MSS: Make sure to clear possible device state payload before freeing
MultiFDSendData, remove placeholders for other patches not included]
