We use vhostforce to enable vhost even if Guests don't have MSI-X
support and we fall back to QEMU virtio-net.
This gives a very small performance gain, but the disadvantage
is that guest now controls which virtio code is running
(qemu or vhost) so our attack surface is doubled.
This patch will enable vhost unconditionally whenever it's requested.
For compatibility, enable vhost when vhostforce is set, as well.

When -netdev vhost-user fails, it first reports a specific error, then
one or more generic ones, like this:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -netdev vhost-user,id=foo,chardev=xxx
qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev vhost-user,id=foo,chardev=xxx: chardev "xxx" not found
qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev vhost-user,id=foo,chardev=xxx: No suitable chardev found
qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev vhost-user,id=foo,chardev=xxx: Device 'vhost-user' could not be initialized
With the command line, the messages go to stderr. In HMP, they go to
the monitor. In QMP, the last one becomes the error reply, and the
others go to stderr.
Convert net_init_vhost_user() and its helpers to Error. This
suppresses the unwanted unspecific error messages, and makes the
specific error the QMP error reply.

When the argument is non-zero, qemu_opt_foreach() stops on callback
returning non-zero, and returns that value.
When the argument is zero, it doesn't stop, and returns the callback's
value from the last iteration.
The two callers that pass zero could just as well pass one:
* qemu_spice_init()'s callback add_channel() either returns zero or
exit()s.
* config_write_opts()'s callback config_write_opt() always returns
zero.
Drop the parameter, and always stop.

When the argument is zero, it doesn't stop, and returns the bit-wise

The callers that pass zero could just as well pass one, because their
callbacks can't return anything but zero:

Based on patch by Nikolay Nikolaev:
Vhost-user will implement the multi queue support in a similar way
to what vhost already has - a separate thread for each queue.
To enable the multi queue functionality - a new command line parameter
"queues" is introduced for the vhost-user netdev.

Error reporting for netdev_add is broken: the net_client_init_fun[]
report the actual errors with (at best) error_report(), and their
caller net_client_init1() makes up a generic error on top.
For command line and HMP, this produces an mildly ugly error cascade.
In QMP, the actual errors go to stderr, and the generic error becomes
the command's error reply.
To fix this, we need to convert the net_client_init_fun[] to Error.
To permit fixing them one by one, add an Error ** parameter to the
net_client_init_fun[]. If the call fails without returning an Error,
make up the same generic Error as before. But if it returns one, use
that instead. Since none of them does so far, no functional change.

Currently, vhost user nic doesn't support non msi guests(like pxe stage) by default.
Vhost user nic can't fall back to qemu like normal vhost net nic does. So we should
enable it for non msi guests.

The supplied chardev id will be inspected for supported options. Only
a socket backend, with a set path (i.e. a Unix socket) and optionally
the server parameter set, will be allowed. Other options (nowait, telnet)
will make the chardev unusable and the netdev will not be initialised.
Additional checks for validity:
- requires `-numa node,memdev=..`
- requires `-device virtio-net-*`
The `vhostforce` option is used to force vhost-net when we deal with
non-MSIX guests.

Add a new QEMU netdev backend that is intended to invoke vhost_net with the
vhost-user backend. It uses an Unix socket chardev to establish a
communication with the 'slave' (client and server mode supported).
At runtime the netdev will handle OPEN/CLOSE events from the chardev. Upon
disconnection it will set link_down accordingly and notify virtio-net; the
virtio-net interface will go down.
