Setting the tap offload should only be done based on the features that
are acked by the guest. Therefore it is incorrect to set these upon
opening the tap.

There is no point in queueing an empty descriptor in the list of iovecs.
Let's simply ignore such case and avoid some unnecessary processing.

The main idea behind this commit is to remove all the complexity
associated with TX/RX handling for virtio-net. By using writev() and
readv() syscalls, we could get rid of intermediate buffers for both
queues.
The complexity regarding the TAP registration has been simplified as
well. The RX queue is only processed when some data are ready to be
read from TAP. The event related to the RX queue getting more
descriptors only serves the purpose to register the TAP file if it's not
already.
With all these simplifications, the code is more readable but more
performant as well. We can see an improvement of 10% for a single
queue device.

This helper can open a TAP device and configure the interface on it. If
the device needs to be opened multiple times for MQ then it also handles
that correctly.

The unit tests ask the Linux kernel to generate a TAP device name on
demand by passing in a format string. I suspect, but haven't been able
to confirm that there might be a rare race that triggers when creating
lots of devices in a short period of time. This is appearing in our unit
test as the occassional flake of the test_tap_read() which although it
has successfully created the device it fails to set the IP address on it
when looking it back up by it's name.
Since this is the most frequent cause of failures on our CI use a lock
to ensure that multiple TAP devices are not created simultaneously.

Move NetQueuePair and the related NetCounters into the net_util crate.
This means that the vhost_user_net crate now no longer depends on
virtio-devices and so does not depend on the pci, qcow or other similar
crates. This significantly simplifies the build chain for this backend.

By moving the code for opening the two RX and TX queues into a shared

itself depends on many other crates that are not necessary for the
backend to function.

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.

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 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
