ptp: vmclock: add vm generation counter

Similar to live migration, loading a VM from some saved state (aka
snapshot) is also an event that calls for clock adjustments in the
guest. However, guests might want to take more actions as a response to
such events, e.g. as discarding UUIDs, resetting network connections,
reseeding entropy pools, etc. These are actions that guests don't
typically take during live migration, so add a new field in the
vmclock_abi called vm_generation_counter which informs the guest about
such events.

Hypervisor advertises support for vm_generation_counter through the
VMCLOCK_FLAG_VM_GEN_COUNTER_PRESENT flag. Users need to check the
presence of this bit in vmclock_abi flags field before using this flag.
