feature, hence it is incorrect to advertise VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX to

As the first step to complete live-migration with tracking dirty-pages
written by the VMM, this commit patches the dependent vm-memory crate to
the upstream version with the dirty-page-tracking capability. Most
changes are due to the updated `GuestMemoryMmap`, `GuestRegionMmap`, and
`MmapRegion` structs which are taking an additional generic type
parameter to specify what 'bitmap backend' is used.
The above changes should be transparent to the rest of the code base,
e.g. all unit/integration tests should pass without additional changes.

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.

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.

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.

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.
