f7a199b2b4 ivshmem: use little-endian int64_t for the protocol
The current ivshmem protocol uses 'long' for integers. But the
sizeof(long) depends on the host and the endianess is not defined, which
may cause portability troubles.

Instead, switch to using little-endian int64_t. This breaks the
protocol, except on x64 little-endian host where this change
should be compatible.

5105b1d8c2 ivshmem: add check on protocol version in QEMU
Send a protocol version as the first message from server, clients must
close communication if they don't support this protocol version.  Older
QEMUs should be fine with this change in the protocol since they
overrides their own vm_id on reception of an id associated to no
eventfd.

a75eb03b9f contrib: add ivshmem client and server
When using ivshmem devices, notifications between guests can be sent as
interrupts using a ivshmem-server (typical use described in documentation).
The client is provided as a debug tool.
