Decouple vhost from the Linux kernel by introducing vhost_ops. The
intention is to provide different backends - a 'kernel' backend based on
the ioctl interface, and an 'user' backend based on a UNIX domain socket
and shared memory interface.

vhost_dev_init will replace devfd and devpath with a single opaque argument.
This is initialised with a file descriptor. When TAP is used (through
vhost_net), open /dev/vhost-net and pass the fd as an opaque parameter in
VhostNetOptions. The same applies to vhost-scsi - open /dev/vhost-scsi and
pass the fd.

This decouples virtio-net from the TAP netdev backend and allows support
for other backends to be implemented.

The poll callback needs to be called when bringing up or down
the vhost_net instance. As it is not mandatory for an NetClient
to implement it, invoke it only when it is set.

Generalize the features get/ack to be used for both vhost-net and vhost-scsi.
In vhost-net add vhost_net_get_feature_bits to select the feature bit set
depending on the NetClient kind.

There is no need to access backend->info->has_vnet_hdr() and friends
anymore. Use the qemu_has_vnet_hdr() API instead.

With this patch, virtio-net and vmxnet3 frontends make
use of the qemu_peer_* API for backend offloadings manipulations,
instead of calling TAP-specific functions directly.
We also remove the existing checks which prevent those frontends
from using offloadings with backends different from TAP (e.g. netmap).
