By adding a new io_uring feature gate, we let the user the possibility
to choose if he wants to enable the io_uring improvements or not.
Since the io_uring feature depends on the availability on recent host
kernels, it's better if we leave it off for now.
As soon as our CI will have support for a kernel 5.6 with all the
features needed from io_uring, we'll enable this feature gate
permanently.

This introduces a new version of virtio-blk device. The default
virtio-blk provides synchronous processing of the queues, while this
new version relies on io_uring from the host kernel to provide an
asynchronous processing of the queues.
This new asynchronous version provides a huge performance improvement
compared to the default synchronous version.

This is a helper for implementing the worker thread for virtio devices
and in particular handles special behaviour for pause and kill events.
The device specific event handling (for the queues themselves) is
delegated to a method invoked on a new EpollHelperHandler trait. This
method is passed the event as well as the EpollHelper so that it can
operate on the handler in order to manage events itself (required for
virtio-net.)

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.

Split the generic virtio code (queues and device type) from the
VirtioDevice trait, transport and device implementations.
This also simplifies the feature handling in vhost_user_backend as the
vm-virtio crate is no longer has any features.
