Force auto-convegence of live migration

If a user chooses to turn on the auto-converge migration capability
these changes detect the lack of convergence and throttle down the
guest. i.e. force the VCPUs out of the guest for some duration
and let the migration thread catchup and help converge.

Verified the convergence using the following :
 - Java Warehouse workload running on a 20VCPU/256G guest(~80% busy)
 - OLTP like workload running on a 80VCPU/512G guest (~80% busy)

Sample results with Java warehouse workload : (migrate speed set to 20Gb and
migrate downtime set to 4seconds).
