net/virtio: support NAPI when using vhost-net backend

In patch [1], NAPI has been supported in kernel tun driver to accelerate
packet processing received from vhost-net. This will greatly improve the
throughput of the tap device in the vhost-net backend.

net/virtio-user: fix init when using existing tap

Done

The virtio-user with vhost-kernel backend was going through a lot
of complications to initialise tap fds only when using them.

For each qp enabled for the first time, a tapfd was created via
TUNSETIFF with unneeded additional steps (see below) and then mapped to
the right qp in the vhost-net backend.
Unneeded steps (as long as it has been done once for the port):
- tap features were queried while this is a constant on a running
system,
- the device name in DPDK was updated,
- the mac address of the tap was set,

On subsequent qps state change, the vhost-net backend fd mapping was
updated and the associated queue/tapfd were disabled/enabled via
TUNSETQUEUE.

Now, this patch simplifies the whole logic by keeping all tapfds opened
and in enabled state (from the tap point of view) at all time.

Unused ioctl defines are removed.

Tap features are validated earlier to fail initialisation asap.
Tap name discovery and mac address configuration are moved when
configuring qp 0.

To support attaching to mono queue tap, the virtio-user driver now tries
to attach in multi queue first, then fallbacks to mono queue.

Finally (but this is more for consistency), VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ feature is
exposed only if the underlying tap supports multi queue.

With vhost kernel, to enable multiqueue, we need backend device
in kernel support multiqueue feature. Specifically, with tap
as the backend, as linux/Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt shows,
we check if tap supports IFF_MULTI_QUEUE feature.

And for vhost kernel, each queue pair has a vhost fd, and with a tap
fd binding this vhost fd. All tap fds are set with the same tap
interface name.

When used with vhost kernel backend, we can offload at both directions.
- From vhost kernel to virtio_user, the offload is enabled so that
DPDK app can trust the flow is checksum-correct; and if DPDK app
sends it through another port, the checksum needs to be
recalculated or offloaded. It also applies to TSO.
- From virtio_user to vhost_kernel, the offload is enabled so that
kernel can trust the flow is L4-checksum-correct, no need to verify
it; if kernel will consume it, DPDK app should make sure the
l3-checksum is correctly set.
