liveupdate: luo_session: add ioctls for file preservation

Introducing the userspace interface and internal logic required to manage
the lifecycle of file descriptors within a session.  Previously, a session
was merely a container; this change makes it a functional management unit.

The following capabilities are added:

A new set of ioctl commands are added, which operate on the file
descriptor returned by CREATE_SESSION. This allows userspace to:
- LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_PRESERVE_FD: Add a file descriptor to a session
  to be preserved across the live update.
- LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_RETRIEVE_FD: Retrieve a preserved file in the
  new kernel using its unique token.
- LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_FINISH: finish session

The session's .release handler is enhanced to be state-aware.  When a
session's file descriptor is closed, it correctly unpreserves the session
based on its current state before freeing all associated file resources.
