Denis Plotnikov 1bf8a989a5 virtio: make seg_max virtqueue size dependent
Before the patch, seg_max parameter was immutable and hardcoded
to 126 (128 - 2) without respect to queue size. This has two negative effects:

1. when queue size is < 128, we have Virtio 1.1 specfication violation:
   (2.6.5.3.1 Driver Requirements) seq_max must be <= queue_size.
   This violation affects the old Linux guests (ver < 4.14). These guests
   crash on these queue_size setups.

2. when queue_size > 128, as was pointed out by Denis Lunev <den@virtuozzo.com>,
   seg_max restrics guest's block request length which affects guests'
   performance making them issues more block request than needed.
   https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-12/msg03721.html

To mitigate this two effects, the patch adds the property adjusting seg_max
to queue size automaticaly. Since seg_max is a guest visible parameter,
the property is machine type managable and allows to choose between
old (seg_max = 126 always) and new (seg_max = queue_size - 2) behaviors.

Not to change the behavior of the older VMs, prevent setting the default
seg_max_adjust value for older machine types.
