This patch introduces well defined MigrateAddress struct and its related
child objects.
The existing argument of 'migrate' and 'migrate-incoming' QAPI - 'uri'
is of string type. The current migration flow follows double encoding
scheme for fetching migration parameters such as 'uri' and this is
not an ideal design.
Motive for intoducing struct level design is to prevent double encoding
of QAPI arguments, as Qemu should be able to directly use the QAPI
arguments without any level of encoding.
