This commit introduces a vhost-user device for SCSI. This is based
on the existing vhost-scsi implementation, but done over vhost-user
instead. It also uses a chardev to connect to the backend. Unlike
vhost-scsi (today), VMs using vhost-user-scsi can be live migrated.
To use it, start Qemu with a command line equivalent to:
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-chardev socket,id=vus0,path=/tmp/vus.sock \
-device vhost-user-scsi-pci,chardev=vus0,bus=pci.0,addr=...
A separate commit presents a sample application linked with libiscsi to
provide a backend for vhost-user-scsi.

In order to introduce a new vhost-user-scsi host device type, it makes
sense to abstract part of vhost-scsi into a common parent class. This
commit does exactly that.
