Add new vhost-user netdev backend
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.
