cc51fdb8a7 vhost_user_net: Use NetQueuePair from vm-virtio
The logic for handling the networking queues can now be shared between
the version running in vhost-user-net and vm-virtio.

These are mostly due to use of "bare use" statements and unnecessary vector

039accc139 vhost_user_net, vm-virtio: Interrupt guest when TX queue is updated
According to the virtio spec the guest should always be interrupted when
"used" descriptors are returned from the device to the driver. However
this was not the case for the TX queue in either the virtio-net
implementation or the vhost-user-net implementation.

This would have meant that the guest could end up with a reduced TX
throughput as it would not know that the packets had been dispatched via
the VMM.

1b8b5ac179 vhost-user_net, vm-virtio, vmm: Permit host MAC address setting
Add a new "host_mac" parameter to "--net" and "--net-backend" and use
this to set the MAC address on the tap interface. If no address is given
one is randomly assigned and is stored in the config.

Support for vhost-user-net self spawning was also included.

Fixes: #1177

c4bf383fd7 vhost_user_*: Create a vhost::Listener in advance
Changes is vhost crate require VhostUserDaemon users to create and
provide a vhost::Listener in advance. This allows us to adopt
sandboxing strategies in the future, by being able to create the UNIX
socket before switching to a restricted namespace.

Update also the reference to vhost crate in Cargo.lock to point to the
latest commit from the dragonball branch.

592de97fbd vhost_user_net: Use config::OptionParser to simplify net backend parsing
Switch to using the recently added OptionParser in the code that parses
the network backend.

Whilst doing this also update the net-backend syntax to use "sock"
rather than socket.

1a0a2c0182 vhost_user_backend: Provide the thread ID to handle_event()
By adding a "thread_id" parameter to handle_event(), the backend crate
can now indicate to the backend implementation which thread triggered
the processing of some events.

This is applied to vhost-user-net backend and allows for simplifying a
lot the code since each thread is identical.

cfffb7edb0 vhost_user_backend: Allow for one exit_event per thread
By adding the "thread_index" parameter to the function exit_event() from
the VhostUserBackend trait, the backend crate now has the ability to ask
the backend implementation about the exit event related to a specific
thread.

b927dceed8 vhost_user_net: Prepare for multithreaded support
In order to prepare for the support of multithreaded multiqueues, the
structure VhostUserNetThread is simplified to hold only one RX queue,
one TX queue, and one TAP interface.

Following this change, VhostUserNetBackend now holds a list of threads
instead of going through each thread to handle multiqueues.

These changes decouple neatly the abstraction between the backend and
each thread. This allows for a lot of simplification since we now know
all threads are identical, hence the handling of events becomes very
straightforward.

One important point is that each thread can be locked when in use,
without causing any contention with other threads since the backend
doesn't need to be locked anymore.

8f434df1fb vhost_user: Adapt backends to let handle_event be immutable
Both blk, net and fs backends have been updated to avoid the requirement
of having handle_event(&mut self). This will allow the backend crate to
avoid taking a write lock onto the backend object, which will remove the
potential contention point when multiple threads will be handling
multiqueues.
