This patch adds basic multiqueue support for qemu. The idea is simple, an array
of NetClientStates were introduced in NICState, parse_netdev() were extended to
find and match all NetClientStates belongs to the backend and place their
pointers in NICConf. Then qemu_new_nic can setup a N:N mapping between NICStates
that belongs to a nic and NICStates belongs to the netdev. And a queue_index
were introduced in NetClientState to track its index. After this, each peers of
a NICState were abstracted as a queue.
After this change, all NetClientState that belongs to the same backend/nic has
the same id. When use want to change the link status, all NetClientStates that
belongs to the same backend/nic will be also changed. When user want to delete
a device or netdev, all NetClientStates that belongs to the same backend/nic
will be deleted also. Changing or deleting an specific queue is not allowed.

To allow allocating an array of NetClientState and free it once, this patch
introduces destructor of NetClientState. Which could do type specific free,
which could be used by multiqueue to free the array once.

This patch separates the setup of NetClientState from its allocation, this will
allow allocating an arrays of NetClientState and does the initialization one by
one which is what multiqueue needs.

In multiqueue, all NetClientState that belongs to the same netdev or nic has the
same id. So this patches introduces an helper qemu_find_net_clients_except()
which finds all NetClientState with the same id. This will be used by multiqueue
networking.

To support multiqueue nic, this patch separate the nic destructor from
qemu_del_net_client() to a new helper qemu_del_nic() since the mapping bettween
NiCState and NetClientState were not 1:1 in multiqueue. The following patches
would refactor this function to support multiqueue nic.

Move public headers to include/net, and leave private headers in net/.
Put the virtio headers in include/net/tap.h, removing the multiple copies
that existed. Leave include/net/tap.h as the interface for NICs, and
net/tap_int.h as the interface for OS-specific parts of the tap backend.
