Edivaldo reports a problem that the array of NetClientState in NICState is too
large - MAX_QUEUE_NUM(1024) which will wastes memory even if multiqueue is not
used.
Instead of static arrays, solving this issue by allocating the queues on demand
for both the NetClientState array in NICState and VirtIONetQueue array in
VirtIONet.
Tested by myself, with single virtio-net-pci device. The memory allocation is
almost the same as when multiqueue is not merged.

When frontend and backend are connected through a hub as below
(showing only one direction), and the frontend (or in general, all
output ports of the hub) cannot accept more traffic, the backend
queues packets in queue-A.
When the frontend (or in general, one output port) becomes ready again,
quemu tries to flush packets from queue-B, which is unfortunately empty.
e1000.0 <--[queue B]-- hub0port0(hub)hub0port1 <--[queue A]-- tap.0
To fix this i propose to introduce a new function net_hub_flush()
which is called when trying to flush a queue connected to a hub.

The pSeries machine and some other devices don't supply a cleanup
callback. Revert part of 1ceef9f273 that

1ceef9f273 added handling for cleaning
up multiple queues in qemu_del_nic() for cases where multiqueue is in
use. To determine the number of queues it looks at nic->conf->queues,
then iterates through all the queues to cleanup the associated
NetClientStates. If no queues are found, no NetClientStates are deleted.
However, nic->conf->queues is only set when a peer is created via
-netdev or netdev_add, and is otherwise 0. This causes us to spin in
net_cleanup() if we attempt to shut down qemu before adding a host
device.
Since qemu_new_nic() unconditionally creates at least 1
queue/NetClientState at queue idx 0, make qemu_del_nic() always attempt
to clean it up.

This patch adds basic multiqueue support for qemu. The idea is simple, an array
of NetClientStates were introduced in NICState, parse_netdev() were extended to
find and match all NetClientStates belongs to the backend and place their
pointers in NICConf. Then qemu_new_nic can setup a N:N mapping between NICStates
that belongs to a nic and NICStates belongs to the netdev. And a queue_index
were introduced in NetClientState to track its index. After this, each peers of
a NICState were abstracted as a queue.
After this change, all NetClientState that belongs to the same backend/nic has
the same id. When use want to change the link status, all NetClientStates that
belongs to the same backend/nic will be also changed. When user want to delete
a device or netdev, all NetClientStates that belongs to the same backend/nic
will be deleted also. Changing or deleting an specific queue is not allowed.

To allow allocating an array of NetClientState and free it once, this patch
introduces destructor of NetClientState. Which could do type specific free,
which could be used by multiqueue to free the array once.

This patch separates the setup of NetClientState from its allocation, this will
allow allocating an arrays of NetClientState and does the initialization one by
one which is what multiqueue needs.

In multiqueue, all NetClientState that belongs to the same netdev or nic has the
same id. So this patches introduces an helper qemu_find_net_clients_except()
which finds all NetClientState with the same id. This will be used by multiqueue
networking.

To support multiqueue nic, this patch separate the nic destructor from
qemu_del_net_client() to a new helper qemu_del_nic() since the mapping bettween
NiCState and NetClientState were not 1:1 in multiqueue. The following patches
would refactor this function to support multiqueue nic.

Move public headers to include/net, and leave private headers in net/.
Put the virtio headers in include/net/tap.h, removing the multiple copies
that existed. Leave include/net/tap.h as the interface for NICs, and
net/tap_int.h as the interface for OS-specific parts of the tap backend.
