The point being to identify clearly that we're running the backend as a
server. This anticipates the addition of a new function for running the
backend as a client.

In the reference vhost_user_net backend don't advertise the offload
features. For correctness we should only advertise them if we can set
them when they are acked by the guest.

The vhost crate from rust-vmm is ready, which is why we do the switch
from the Cloud Hypervisor fork to the upstream crate.
At the same time, we rename the crate from vhost_rs to vhost.

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.

A new version of vm-memory was released upstream which resulted in some
components pulling in that new version. Update the version number used
to point to the latest version but continue to use our patched version
due to the fix for #1258

Even if the vhost-user-net device did implement all currently-defined
features, it would be very short-sighted to use ::all(), because if a
new feature was defined later, the device would start claiming to
implement it even though it didn't.
More practically, claiming to implement all features breaks using QEMU
with the cloud-hypervisor vhost-user-net backend, because QEMU will
negotiate VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_SLAVE_REQ, and then break when the
communication channel isn't actually set up.
I wasn't sure exactly which features the backend should claim to
implement, though. Definitely MQ, and I'm fairly certain none of the
features I've ommitted are implemented. But I'm not sure about
REPLY_ACK. As far as I can tell it should be implemented entirely by
the vhost crate, with no cooperation required from the vhost-user-net
backend itself, so there should be no reason to let a frontend use it
if it wants to. But despite this, neither vhost-user-fs nor
vhost-user-blk claims to implement it.

EpollHelper allows the removal of much duplicated loop handling code and
instead the device specific even handling is delegated via an
implementation of EpollHelperHandler.

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
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.

Remove the vmm dependency from vhost_user_block and vhost_user_net where
it was existing to use config::OptionParser. By moving the OptionParser
to its own crate at the top-level we can remove the very heavy
dependency that these vhost-user backends had.

The binary is still built in the same location but the source code and
the dependencies for it come from the vhost_user_net crate itself.
The binary will be built with:
`cargo build --all --bin vhost_user_net` or just `cargo build --all`

This removes the need to use CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges and instead the
host MAC addres is either provided by the user or alternatively it is
retrieved from the kernel.
TEST=Run cloud-hypervisor without CAP_NET_ADMIN permission and a
preconfigured tap device:
sudo ip tuntap add name tap0 mode tap
sudo ifconfig tap0 192.168.249.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
cargo clean
cargo build
target/debug/cloud-hypervisor --serial tty --console off --kernel ~/src/rust-hypervisor-firmware/target/target/release/hypervisor-fw --disk path=~/workloads/clear-33190-kvm.img --net tap=tap0
VM was also rebooted to check that works correctly.
