Raphael Norwitz d91d57e604 vhost-user: add VHOST_USER_RESET_DEVICE to reset devices
Add a VHOST_USER_RESET_DEVICE message which will reset the vhost user
backend. Disabling all rings, and resetting all internal state, ready
for the backend to be reinitialized.

A backend has to report it supports this features with the
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_RESET_DEVICE protocol feature bit. If it does
so, the new message is used instead of sending a RESET_OWNER which has
had inconsistent implementations.

Stefan Hajnoczi df98d7ccc2 docs: clarify multiqueue vs multiple virtqueues
The vhost-user specification does not explain when
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ must be implemented.  This may lead
implementors of vhost-user masters to believe that this protocol feature
is required for any device that has multiple virtqueues.  That would be
a mistake since existing vhost-user slaves offer multiple virtqueues but
do not advertise VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ.

For example, a vhost-net device with one rx/tx queue pair is not
multiqueue.  The slave does not need to advertise
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ.  Therefore the master must assume it has these
virtqueues and cannot rely on askingt the slave how many virtqueues
exist.

Extend the specification to explain the different between true
multiqueue and regular devices with a fixed virtqueue layout.

Stefan Hajnoczi 3ef4dff2b3 docs: avoid vhost-user-net specifics in multiqueue section
The "Multiple queue support" section makes references to vhost-user-net
"queue pairs".  This is confusing for two reasons:
1. This actually applies to all device types, not just vhost-user-net.
2. VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM returns the number of virtqueues, not the
   number of queue pairs.

Reword the section so that the vhost-user-net specific part is relegated
to the very end: we acknowledge that vhost-user-net historically
automatically enabled the first queue pair.

Marc-André Lureau bd2e44fee4 vhost-user: add vhost_user_gpu_set_socket()
Add a new vhost-user message to give a unix socket to a vhost-user
backend for GPU display updates.

Back when I started that work, I added a new GPU channel because the
vhost-user protocol wasn't bidirectional. Since then, there is a
vhost-user-slave channel for the slave to send requests to the master.
We could extend it with GPU messages. However, the GPU protocol is
quite orthogonal to vhost-user, thus I chose to have a new dedicated
channel.

See vhost-user-gpu.rst for the protocol details.
