Background snapshot allows creating a snapshot of the VM while it's
running and keeping it small by not including dirty RAM pages.

The way it works is by first stopping the VM, saving the non-iterable
devices' state and then starting the VM and saving the RAM while write
protecting it with UFFD. The resulting snapshot represents the VM state
at snapshot start.

VFIO migration is not compatible with background snapshot.
First of all, VFIO device state is not even saved in background snapshot
because only non-iterable device state is saved. But even if it was
saved, after starting the VM, a VFIO device could dirty pages without it
being detected by UFFD write protection. This would corrupt the
snapshot, as the RAM in it would not represent the RAM at snapshot
start.

To prevent this and to be explicit about supported features, block VFIO
migration with background snapshot: Fail setting background snapshot
capability if a VFIO device is present, and add a migration blocker if a
VFIO device is added when background snapshot capability is on.
