Michal Privoznik 1f24f68225 qemu: Adapt qemuBuildInterfaceCommandLine to to multiqueue net
In order to learn libvirt multiqueue several things must be done:

1) The '/dev/net/tun' device needs to be opened multiple times with
IFF_MULTI_QUEUE flag passed to ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFF, &ifr);

2) Similarly, '/dev/vhost-net' must be opened as many times as in 1)
in order to keep 1:1 ratio recommended by qemu and kernel folks.

3) The command line construction code needs to switch from 'fd=X' to
'fds=X:Y:...:Z' and from 'vhostfd=X' to 'vhostfds=X:Y:...:Z'.

4) The monitor handling code needs to learn to pass multiple FDs.
