core: Support memfd transport; bump protocol version

Now that all layers in the stack support memfd blocks, add memfd
support for the daemon's global core mempool. Also introduce
"enable-memfd=" daemon argument and configuration option.

For now, memfd support is an opt-in feature to be activated only
when daemon's enable-memfd= is set to yes.
