By moving the code for opening the two RX and TX queues into a shared
location we are starting to remove the requirement for the
vhost-user-net backend to depend on the virtio-devices crate which in of
itself depends on many other crates that are not necessary for the
backend to function.

Rather than use an embedded String inside the MultiQueueSupport error
value use two different values to differentiate the two cases.

This can be used to preserve the host MAC address as part of the
configuration when the TAP device is precreated.

This allows an existing TAP interface to be used without needing
CAP_NET_ADMIN permissions on the Cloud Hypervisor binary as the ioctl to
bring up the interface is avoided.

This is a preparing commit to build and test CH on AArch64. All building
issues were fixed, but no functionality was introduced.
For X86, the logic of code was not changed at all.
For ARM, the architecture specific part is still empty. And we applied
some tricks to workaround lint warnings. But such code will be replaced
later by other commits with real functionality.

Do this by reading the HW address information and then modifying the
HW address to match the desired address. Preserving the rest of the
state including the address type.

Since the kvm crates now depend on vmm-sys-util, the bump must be
atomic.
The kvm-bindings and ioctls 0.2.0 and 0.4.0 crates come with a few API
changes, one of them being the use of a kvm_ioctls specific error type.
Porting our code to that type makes for a fairly large diff stat.

We need to rely on the latest kvm-ioctls version to benefit from the
recent addition of unregister_ioevent(), allowing us to detach a
previously registered eventfd to a PIO or MMIO guest address.
Because of this update, we had to modify the current constraint we had
on the vmm-sys-util crate, using ">= 0.1.1" instead of being strictly
tied to "0.2.0".
Once the dependency conflict resolved, this commit took care of fixing
build issues caused by recent modification of kvm-ioctls relying on
EventFd reference instead of RawFd.

Create vhost-user-net backend with Tap interface, to offload network
transaction from cloud-hypervisor. The goal is to provide flexibility
about the backend being in use, but also more security as it will allow
users to isolate the backend with different security profiles since it
will run as a dedicated process on the host.

The older version of pnet had a bug which broke some of the behaviour
that the unit tests relied upon.

The newly added virtio-net implementation needs to interact with TAP
interfaces and MAC addresses, which is the reason why it is easier
to rely on existing packages net_util and net_gen.
One more thing, both net_util and net_gen could be trimmed down,
based on using only the things we need from cloud-hypervisor.
Both net_util, net_gen and sys_util are based on Firecracker
