Increase the size of the perfect filter table and control queue depth.
This should give us more headroom in the MAC filter and is known to be
needed by at least one guest user. Increasing the control queue depth
allows a guest to feed several commands back to back if they so desire
rather than using the send and wait approach Linux uses.

The MAC filter table is received from the guest as two separate
buffers, one with unicast entries, the other with multicast
entries. If we track the index dividing the two sets, we can
avoid searching the part of the table with the wrong type of
entries.
We could store this index as part of the save image, but its
trivially easy to discover it on load.

If we don't have room to receive a packet, we return zero

as soon as space becomes available.

If a packet is queued by qemu_send_packet(), remove I/O
handler for the tap fd until we get notification that the
packet has been sent.
A not insignificant side effect of this is we can now
drain the tap send queue in one go without fear of packets
being dropped.

Add a qemu_send_packet() variant which will queue up the packet
if it cannot be sent when all client queues are full. It later
invokes the supplied callback when the packet has been sent.
If qemu_send_packet_async() returns zero, the caller is expected
to not send any more packets until the queued packet has been
sent.
Packets are queued iff a receive() handler returns zero (indicating
queue full) and the caller has provided a sent notification callback
(indicating it will stop and start its own queue).
We need the packet sending API to support queueing because:
- a sending client should process all available packets in one go
(e.g. virtio-net emptying its tx ring)
- a receiving client may not be able to handle the packet
(e.g. -EAGAIN from write() to tapfd)
- the sending client could detect this condition in advance
(e.g. by select() for writable on tapfd)
- that's too much overhead (e.g. a select() call per packet)
- therefore the sending client must handle the condition by
dropping the packet or queueing it
- dropping packets is poor form; we should queue.
However, we don't want queueing to be completely transparent. We
want the sending client to stop sending packets as soon as a
packet is queued. This allows the sending client to be throttled
by the receiver.

VLANClientState's fd_read() handler doesn't read from file

If a vlan client has no fd_can_read(), that means it can
always receive packets. The current code assumes it can *never*
receive packets.

KVM uses a 64k buffer for reading from tapfd (for GSO support)
and allocates the buffer with TAPState rather than on the stack.
Not allocating it on the stack probably makes sense for qemu
anyway, so merge it in advance of GSO support.

This patch reorders the initialization of slirp itself as well as its
associated features smb and redirection. So far the first reference to
slirp triggered the initialization, independent of the actual -net user
option which may carry additional parameters. Now we save any request to
add a smb export or some redirections until the actual initialization of
the stack. This also allows to move a few parameters that were passed
via global variable into the argument list of net_slirp_init.

As host network devices can also be instantiated via the monitor, errors
should then be reported to the related monitor instead of stderr. This

When debugging multi-threaded programs, QEMU's gdb stub would report the
correct number of threads (the qfThreadInfo and qsThreadInfo packets).
However, the stub was unable to actually switch between threads (the T
packet), since it would report every thread except the first as being
dead. Furthermore, the stub relied upon cpu_index as a reliable means
of assigning IDs to the threads. This was a bad idea; if you have this
sequence of events:
initial thread created
new thread #1
new thread #2
thread #1 exits
new thread #3
thread #3 will have the same cpu_index as thread #1, which would confuse
GDB. (This problem is partly due to the remote protocol not having a
good way to send thread creation/destruction events.)
We fix this by using the host thread ID for the identifier passed to GDB
when debugging a multi-threaded userspace program. The thread ID might
wrap, but the same sort of problems with wrapping thread IDs would come
up with debugging programs natively, so this doesn't represent a
problem.
