Lets keep a cleaner split between the base class and the derived
vhost-user-device which we can use for generic vhost-user stubs. This
includes an update to introduce the vq_size property so the number of
entries in a virtq can be defined.

To use the generic device the user will need to provide the config
region size via the command line. We also add a notifier so the guest
can be pinged if the remote daemon updates the config.
With these changes:
-device vhost-user-device-pci,virtio-id=41,num_vqs=2,config_size=8
is equivalent to:
-device vhost-user-gpio-pci

In theory we shouldn't need to repeat so much boilerplate to support
vhost-user backends. This provides a generic vhost-user-base QOM
object and a derived vhost-user-device for which the user needs to
provide the few bits of information that aren't currently provided by
the vhost-user protocol. This should provide a baseline implementation
from which the other vhost-user stub can specialise.
