[PATCH v20210111 14/39] tools/guest: prepare to allocate arrays once

[Olaf Hering <olaf@aepfle.de>]

The hotpath 'send_dirty_pages' is supposed to do just one thing: sending.
The other end 'handle_page_data' is supposed to do just receiving.

But instead both do other costly work like memory allocations and data moving.
Do the allocations once, the array sizes are a compiletime constant.
Avoid unneeded copying of data by receiving data directly into mapped guest memory.

This patch is just prepartion, subsequent changes will populate the arrays.

Once all changes are applied, migration of a busy HVM domU changes like that:
