[Devel] [RFC v14-rc2][PATCH 5/7] Infrastructure for work postponed to the end of checkpoint/restart

Add a interface to postpone an action until the end of the entire
checkpoint or restart operation. This is useful when during the
scan of tasks an operation cannot be performed in place, to avoid
the need for a second scan.

One use case is the next patch: when restoring an ipc shared memory
region that has been deleted (but is still attached), during restart
it needs to be create, attached and then deleted. However, creation
and attachment are performed in distinct locations, so deletion can
not be performed on the spot. Instead, this work (delete) is deferred
until later.

The interface is as follows:

cr_workqueue_run(ctx):
  Execute all the pending works in the queue. Returns the number of
  works executed, or an error.

cr_workqueue_add(ctx, function, flags, data, size):
  Enqueue a postponed work. @function is the function to do the work,
  which will be called with @data as an argument. @size tells the
  size of data. @flags is unused at the moment.
