Add an option for hostmem-file to start the memory object at an offset

inside the same target file, such as a device node.
In particular, it's useful to map guest memory directly into /dev/mem
for experimentation.
To make this work consistently, also fix up all places in QEMU that
expect fd offsets to be 0.

I also agree it'll be nicer to split the fix into separate patch, though.
The only affected part IIUC is multi-process QEMU since 6.0.0. Copying the
maintainers too so they'll be aware.
Corresponds to the tag:
Fixes: ed5d001916 ("multi-process: setup memory manager for remote device")
If there are no options on splitting out the fix, I'll route this via my
tree.
