Adding the num_queues parameter for vhost-user-blk backend, which
can enable MQ support in the backend.
This patch has enabled the MQ support from handle_event, and the
vhost-user-backend crate will enable multiple threads to call this
handle_event to handle read/write operations.

Add a socket and vhost_user parameter to this option so that the same
configuration option can be used for both virtio-block and
vhost-user-block. For now it is necessary to specify both vhost_user
and socket parameters as auto activation is not yet implemented. The wce
parameter for supporting "Write Cache Enabling" is also added to the
disk configuration.
The original command line parameter is still supported for now and will
be removed in a future release.

Just add a new integration test to verify that multiqueue support is
correctly supported and that we can find the right amount of queues in
the guest.

The number of queues and the size of each queue were not configurable.
In anticipation for adding multiqueue support, this commit introduces
some new parameters to let the user decide about the number of queues
and the queue size.
Note that the default values for each of these parameters are identical
to the default values used for vhost-user-blk, that is 1 for the number
of queues and 128 for the queue size.

Add explicit exclusions with --net-backend from --block-backend (and
vice-versa.) And also with "--kernel" as this is the option for "VM boot" that is never optional.
Ideally we would conflcit the backend arguments against the "vm-group"
however this does not work as it includes some arguments that have a
default value set and thus clap thinks those arguments are always
provided. Conflicting with "--kernel" is thus a reasonable compromise.

Add missing WCE (write-cache enable) property support. This not only
an enhancement, but also a fix for a bug.
Right now, when vhost_user_blk uses a qcow2 image, it doesn't write
the QCOW2 metadata until the guest explicitly requests a flush. In
practice, this is equivalent to the write back semantic.
Without WCE, the guest assumes write through for the virtio_blk
device, and doesn't send those flush requests. Adding support for WCE,
and enabling it by default, we ensure the guest does send said
requests.
Supporting "WCE = false" would require updating our qcow2
implementation to ensure that, when required, it honors the write
through semantics by not deferring the updates to QCOW2 metadata.

Add support for opening the disk images with O_DIRECT. This allows
bypassing the host's file system cache, which is useful to avoid
polluting its cache and for better data integrity.
This mode of operation can be enabled by adding the "direct=<bool>"
parameter to the "backend" argument:
./target/debug/vhost_user_blk --backend image=test.raw,sock=/tmp/vhostblk,direct=true
The "direct" parameter defaults to "false", to preserve the original
behavior.

Use RawFile as backend instead of File. This allows us to abstract
the access to the actual image with a specialized layer, so we have a

Doing I/O on an image opened with O_DIRECT requires to adhere to
certain restrictions, requiring the following elements to be aligned:
- Address of the source/destination memory buffer.
- File offset.
- Length of the data to be read/written.
The actual alignment value depends on various elements, and according
to open(2) "(...) there is currently no filesystem-independent
interface for an application to discover these restrictions (...)".
To discover such value, we iterate through a list of alignments
(currently, 512 and 4096) calling pread() with each one and checking
if the operation succeeded.
We also extend RawFile so it can be used as a backend for QcowFile,
so the later can be easily adapted to support O_DIRECT too.

Update the common part in net_util.rs under vm-virtio to add mq
support, meanwhile enable mq for virtio-net device, vhost-user-net
device and vhost-user-net backend. Multiple threads will be created,
one thread will be responsible to handle one queue pair separately.
To gain the better performance, it requires to have the same amount
of vcpus as queue pair numbers defined for the net device, due to
the cpu affinity.
Multiple thread support is not added for vhost-user-net backend
currently, it will be added in future.

The cache= option from the virtiofsd backend is meant to be used
depending on how the user wants to use the guest page cache. For most
use cases, we want to bypass the guest page cache to reduce the guest
memory footprint, which is why "cache=none" should be the default.
"cache=always" is the other option when the user wants to do something
specific by using the guest page cache, but should not be the default
anymore.
