Add live migration support to (non-dpdk) vhost-user driver
This patch adds live migration support to vhost interfaces, by supporting the VHOST_F_LOG_ALL feature. When qemu starts a migration, it will negotiate this feature, and provide a fd for a "dirty log" shared mem space. This log is a bitmap representing pages in the device memory.
Whenever we touch memory pointed by a "desc" vring, or modify a "used" vring, we log the corresponding page in the bitmap. This allows qemu to send the dirty page to the destination host.
See https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/docs/specs/vhost-user.txt, ยง "Live migration" for more details.
In addition to this, this code provides support for the VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES feature, and to VHOST_USER_{GET,SET}_PROTOCOL_FEATURES and VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE messages, required for live migration.
