Add documentation for '-machine memory-backend' CLI option and
how to use it.
And document that x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id,
is considered to be stable to make sure it won't go away by accident.
x- was intended for unstable/iternal properties, and not supposed to
be stable option. However it's too late to rename (drop x-)
it as it would mean that users will have to mantain both
x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id (for QEMU 5.0-5.2) versions
and prefix-less for later versions.

v2:
- add doc that x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id is considered stable,
(Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com>)
v3:
-
s/x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id=on/x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id=off/
(Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>)
- add to commit message why x- prefix is preserved
- drop clause about x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id being stable
from help section, but keep it in code comment above
x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id property. It's sufficient
to prevent option being changed/removed by accident.
