Rather than calling it at the very start of the VM execution (i.e. when
the VCPUs are created) do it as part of the DeviceManager creation.

Create the virtio devices independently of adding them to the PCI bus.
Instead accrue the devices in a vector and add them to the bus en-masse.
This will allow the virtio device creation to be used independently of
PCI based transport.

This commit relies on the new vsock::unix module to create the backend
that will be used from the virtio-vsock device.
The concept of backend is interesting here as it would allow for a vhost
kernel backend to be plugged if that was needed someday.

Based on previous patch introducing the new flag "--vsock", this commit
creates a new virtio-vsock device based on the presence of this flag.

The default number of MSI-X vector allocated was 2, which is the minimum
defined by the virtio specification. The reason for this minimum is that
virtio needs at least one interrupt to signal that configuration changed
and at least one to specify something happened regarding the virtqueues.
But this current implementation is not optimal because our VMM supports
as many MSI-X vectors as allowed by the MSI-X specification (2048 max).
For that reason, the current patch relies on the number of virtqueues
needed by the virtio device to determine the right amount of MSI-X
vectors needed. It's important not to forget the dedicated vector for
any configuration change too.

Refactor out DeviceManager into it's own file. This is part of a bigger
effort to reduce complexity in the vm.rs file but will also allow future
separation to allow making PCI support optional.
