ext/services: add automatic migration meminfo-writer=False -> maxmem=0

Browse Source 
Migrate meminfo-writer=False service setting to maxmem=0 as a method to
disable dynamic memory management. Remove the service from vm.features
dict in the process.

Additionally, translate any attempt to set the service.meminfo-writer
feature to either setting maxmem=0 or resetting it to the default (which
is memory balancing enabled if supported by given domain). This is to at
least partially not break existing tools using service.meminfo-writer as
a way to control dynamic memory management. This code does _not_ support
reading service.meminfo-writer feature state to get the current state of
dynamic memory management, as it would require synchronizing with all
the factors affecting its value. One of main reasons for migrating to
maxmem=0 approach is to avoid the need of such synchronization.
