KVM: Remove memory alias support

As advertised in feature-removal-schedule.txt.  Equivalent support is provided
by overlapping memory regions.

-What:	KVM memory aliases support
-When:	July 2010
-Why:	Memory aliasing support is used for speeding up guest vga access
-	through the vga windows.
-
-	Modern userspace no longer uses this feature, so it's just bitrotted
-	code and can be removed with no impact.
