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.
