img-streamer: introduction of criu-image-streamer

Browse source 
This adds the ability to stream images with criu-image-streamer

The workflow is the following:
1) criu-image-streamer is started, and starts listening on a UNIX
   socket.
2) CRIU is started. img_streamer_init() is invoked, which connects to the
   socket. During dump/restore operations, instead of using local disk to
   open an image file, img_streamer_open() is called to provide a UNIX pipe
   that is sent over the UNIX socket.
3) Once the operation is done, img_streamer_finish() is called, and the
   UNIX socket is disconnected.

@ -76,6 +76,11 @@ The following levels are available:
*-D*, *--images-dir* 'path'::
Use 'path' as a base directory where to look for sets of image files.
*--stream*::
dump/restore images using criu-image-streamer.
See https://github.com/checkpoint-restore/criu-image-streamer for detailed
usage.
*--prev-images-dir* 'path'::
Use 'path' as a parent directory where to look for sets of image files.
This option makes sense in case of incremental dumps.
