migration: initialize RAM to zero

Using qemu_memalign only leaves the RAM zero by chance, because libc
will usually use mmap to satisfy our huge requests.  But memory will
not be zero when using MALLOC_PERTURB_ with a nonzero value.  In the
case of incoming migration, this breaks a recently-introduced
invariant (commit f1c7279, migration: do not sent zero pages in
bulk stage, 2013-03-26).

To fix this, use mmap ourselves to get a well-aligned, always zero
block for the RAM.  Mmap-ed memory is easy to "trim" at the sides.

This also removes the need to do something special on valgrind
(see commit c2a8238a, Support running QEMU on Valgrind, 2011-10-31),
thus effectively reverts that patch.
