mem: Add SharedMemoryServer
Add an utility class that provides a service for another process
query and get the fd of the corresponding region in gem5's physmem.
Basically, the service works in this way:
1. client connect to the unix socket created by a SharedMemoryServer
2. client send a request {start, end} to gem5
3. the server locates the corresponding shared memory
4. gem5 response {offset} and pass {fd} in ancillary data
mmap fd at offset will provide the client the view into the physical
memory of the request range.
