[v12,03/19] memory: alloc RAM from file at offset

Allow RAM MemoryRegion to be created from an offset in a file, instead
of allocating at offset of 0 by default. This is needed to synchronize
RAM between QEMU & remote process.

I'd suggest to keep the variable name  "offset", to avoid potential
confusion (it's also the name of the mmap() argument).
