kvm: improve handling of overlapping slots (Jan Kiszka)

This reworks the slot management to handle more patterns of
cpu_register_physical_memory*, finally allowing to reset KVM guests (so
far address remapping on reset broke the slot management).

We could actually handle all possible ones without failing, but a KVM
kernel bug in older versions would force us to track all previous
fragmentations and maintain them (as that bug prevents registering
larger slots that overlap also deleted ones). To remain backward
compatible but avoid overly complicated workarounds, we apply a simpler
workaround that covers all currently used patterns.
