In bbc17caf, we used an alias attribute to allow target_page
to be declared const, and yet be initialized late.

This fails when using LTO with several versions of gcc.
The compiler looks through the alias and decides that the const
variable is statically initialized to zero, then propagates that
zero to many uses of the variable.

This can be avoided by compiling one object file with -fno-lto.
In this way, any initializer cannot be seen, and the constant
propagation does not occur.

Since we are certain to have this separate compilation unit, we
can drop the alias attribute as well.  We simply have differing
declarations for target_page in different compilation units.
Drop the use of init_target_page, and drop the configure detection
for CONFIG_ATTRIBUTE_ALIAS.

In order to change the compilation flags for a file with meson,
we must use a static_library.  This runs into specific_ss, where
we would need to create many static_library instances.

Fix this by splitting page-vary.c: the page-vary-common.c part is
compiled once as a static_library, while the page-vary.c part is
left in specific_ss in order to handle the target-specific value
of TARGET_PAGE_BITS_MIN.

exec-vary.c is about variable page size handling,
rename it page-vary.c. Currently this file is target
specific (built once for each target), comment this.

This patch replaces all occurrences of "Lesser GPL version 2" with

This eliminates a set of runtime shifts.  It turns out that we
require TARGET_PAGE_MASK more often than TARGET_PAGE_SIZE, so
redefine TARGET_PAGE_SIZE based on TARGET_PAGE_MASK instead of
the other way around.

Using a variable that is declared "const" for this tells the
compiler that it may read the value once and assume that it
does not change across function calls.

For target_page_size, this means we have only one assert per
function, and one read of the variable.

This reduces the size of qemu-system-aarch64 by 8k.

The next patch will play a trick with "const" that will
confuse the compiler about the uses of target_page_bits
within exec.c.  Moving everything to a new file prevents
this confusion.

No functional change so far.
