doc: add code example for virtio-user exception path
The HOWTO guide for using virtio-user as an exception path to the kernel only provided an example of how testpmd may be used for that purpose. However, a real application wanting to use virtio-user as exception path would likely want to create such devices from code within the app itself. Therefore, we update the doc with instructions and a code snippet showing how this may be done.

doc: rework section on virtio-user as exception path
This patch extensively reworks the howto guide on using virtio-user for exception packets. Changes include:
* rename "exceptional path" to "exception path" * remove references to uio and just reference vfio-pci * simplify testpmd command-lines, giving a basic usage example first before adding on detail about checksum or TSO parameters * give a complete working example showing traffic flowing through the whole system from a testpmd loopback using the created TAP netdev * replace use of "ifconfig" with Linux standard "ip" command * other general rewording.
