conf: Introduce memory allocation threads
    
    Since its v5.0.0 release QEMU is capable of specifying number of
    threads used to allocate memory. It defaults to 1, which may be
    too low for humongous guests with gigantic pages.
    
    In general, on QEMU cmd line level it is possible to use
    different number of threads per each memory-backend-* object, in
    practical terms it's not useful. Therefore, use <memoryBacking/>
    to set guest wide value and let all memory devices 'inherit' it,
    silently. IOW, don't introduce per device knob because that would
    only complicate things for a little or no benefit.
